​
Due to the Coronavirus we are required to institute new rules to keep you and your family safe.

1. If anyone in your family has showed signs of Covid 19 or has come in contact with anyone who is sick with Covid 19 in the past 14 days, please do not come to class. 
2. Parents and students can not sit in waiting room. You can bring your child in to the studio but you will need to stay in your car if you chose to wait for them. Once your child’s class ends, we will bring your child to the door for you to collect.
3. All students are required to wash their hands once they have entered the building and once class has ended.
4. The water fountain can only be used to refill water bottles. No drinking from the fountain.
5. Please come dressed for your class. Dressing rooms will be limited in usage.
6. All students should try to maintain 6 to 10 feet from each other if possible.
7. Masks are not required, but will be permitted.

This is a temporary limited schedule. Everything is in flux right now. We will slowly start adding classes back if we have a demand to do so.
We will take time between classes to clean the studio before the next class starts.
It is very important that we hear from you. Please let us know which classes you plan on attending.

​Look at every great city throughout history. One thing ties them together: the arts. The arts provide an outlet for the soul, inspire people to greatness and create a city’s cultural heart.  The Robert Ivey Ballet Academy is a classically innovative ballet company that creates, nurtures, and shares the joy of dance through excellence in quality performance and faithful stewardship of the art form.

Beginner Ballet

We accept students from 4 years old to adult, and registration is open year round. ​ ​There is a focus on providing students an understanding of the technique behind classical ballet, while nurturing their artistic development as well as their strength of character.

Advanced Ballet

The Robert Ivey Ballet Academy holds its instructors to an international standard of excellence, and classes are Vaganova based. We offer classes in technique, pointe, partnering, and variations. ​

Performance

We offer regular opportunities for our students to perform.  From productions with professional dancers for Piccolo Spoleto to  story ballets to introduce educate and delight school children, we believe that performance experiece is essential.
The mission of the Robert Ivey Ballet Academy is to provide Charleston with the highest-level training possible in a safe and friendly environment.  Robert Ivey Ballet Academy​ brings a renewed belief in the arts, improves arts education, and enriches where we live. Directors Michael and Olga Wise brings expertise of the world’s greatest ballet companies to Charleston, believing that Charleston deserves to have a ballet company that lives and breaths the classics, but also looks to the future.
The symphony is our voice, the fine arts museums our eyes, the dramatic theaters our minds, and dance our body. The arts in Charleston help to create a city where people want to live and grow.
