The School of Ballet Arizona Expands Classes in North Central with New Satellite Location
PHOENIX – The School of Ballet Arizona is excited to announce its expansion with the addition of a new satellite campus following the acquisition of Ballet Theatre of Phoenix, located near 7th Street and Bethany Home Road. This milestone acquisition continues The School of Ballet Arizona’s mission-driven growth in the Valley and will be the school’s second satellite campus, following its first satellite in 2025 at Child Crisis Arizona’s Child & Family Wellness Center in Mesa.
For the past ten years, Ballet Theatre of Phoenix, founded by Artistic Director Jennifer Cafarella Betts, has become an important part of the arts community in North Central Phoenix, offering programs for students of all ages, a strong adult open class community, and a home for multiple forms of dance instruction. The acquisition will continue upon the legacy of instruction established by Cafarella Betts, while also offering additional instruction and performance opportunities for students ages 3-20 in Phoenix.
“When you’ve devoted so many years to building a school and watching generations of students grow, you want to ensure its future is in the very best hands,” said Cafarella Betts. “Joining The School of Ballet Arizona allows the studio to evolve while preserving the welcoming community we’ve created. I couldn’t imagine a better opportunity for our students, who will now have access to The School of Ballet Arizona’s outstanding faculty and training while continuing to dance in the place they’ve always called home.”
