OUR PHILOSOPHY

It is our desire and our goal to build a dancer with a beautiful spirit within and without.

We believe in the art of discipline, work ethic, focus, creativity and support of one another.

Deane Dance Center appreciates each child's uniqueness.

We encourage both the self-confidence that frees a child to be inquisitive and the discipline essential for learning.

BALLET WITH EXPERT TEACHERS 

Here at Deane Dance Center we understand that ballet is the foundation of all dance forms. Therefore, ballet needs to be a key component in every student's dance vocabulary. From preschool through high school and beyond, Deane Dance Center offers age-appropriate ballet classes for girls and boys of every skill level.

Our expert faculty inspires and encourages students to develop their potential by training them in a nurturing ballet environment that is fun and exciting. We work to achieve each child's individual goals whether the student is new to the world of dance and music or pursuing a career in the arts.

Our advanced students go on to great success at some of the most prestigious companies, universities and schools, including Pacific Northwest Ballet, San Francisco Ballet, Ballet X, National Ballet of Canada, Texas Ballet Theater, Houston Ballet, Madison Ballet, Ballet West, Angeles Ballet, Columbia City Ballet, Nashville Ballet​, Carolina Ballet, University of Utah, University of California - Irvine, University of California - Santa Barbara, Butler University, Harvard, Princeton, and many more.

Directors: Allyson Deane and Don Schwennesen

Deane Dance Center and Sac Civic Ballet were founded by Barbara Crockett (founder of the Sacramento Ballet) and her daughter and son-in-law, San Francisco Ballet dancers Allyson Deane and Don Schwennesen.  Ms. Crockett's 70+ year legacy is continued in Deane Dance Center by producing dancers with sublime technique, work ethic, compassion and professional standards.  Since 1994, the school has won many nationally recognized awards, including our most recent award from Regional Dance America/Pacific (RDA/P) for an original choreographed ballet. 

From ages 3 through 19 years old  and adult, our dancers are taught from a syllabus developed by Deane and Barbara Crockett that combines the best of different techniques, including Cecchetti and Vaganova.

Opportunities for more accomplished dancers include the Judson Project, which is an advanced training tool for the serious dancer, and a chance to participate in the nonprofit Sac Civic Ballet Company. Guest teachers and master classes are also included in our curriculum. Bi-annual ballet performances highlight dancers from the school and the pre-professional company. In addition, adult level classes are available for all levels and abilities of adults. 
Dance with JOY...and Enjoy the Dance
