"a discipline unparalleled..."
since 1985
Mission:

The Geiger Classic Ballet Academy is dedicated to the serious study of the art and
appreciation of classical ballet.  It offers exacting and disciplined training at every level of
instruction, perhaps leading to the discovery of an uncommon talent, to a rewarding
professional career, or to many years of fun and enjoyment with performing arts as an
avocation.  This exciting preparatory program also offers the opportunity of career stage
development through the Michigan Classic Ballet Company, the Geiger Classic Ballet
Academy's pre-professional affiliate ballet company.

Vision:

The school demands the best of each student, expecting that each one work to his or her
highest potential.  In return the school gives the care and attention each student deserves.  
The physical well being of the student is of primary concern to the faculty.  Teaching
methods are based on the well founded Russian Vaganova syllabus and injury free
training.





























Dear Prospective Students,

I hope you will come to the conclusion that the Geiger Classic Ballet Academy (GCBA) is
the perfect training ground for your dancing needs.  The reward of becoming a quality
dancer are far reaching: a sense of achievement, increased self-esteem, poise and a
unique feeling of accomplishment and joy.

At GCBA, classic ballet training is the only discipline taught.  We know that it is the true
base of all forms of dance and because it is so important and special, that is all we do!  
BALLET is a science of the body and an art of the mind.  Our training is based on a carefully
developed syllabus derived from the Vaganova (Russian) ballet tradition.  It provides for the
logical progression of training that embraces the development of the dancer from the first
day of class to the emergence of the professional.

I, along with my professionally trained faculty, look forward to the opportunity of helping you
become the best dancer you can be.  Along with our past dancers that have gone on
(Houston Ballet School, Dayton Contemporary Dance, Arizona Ballet, National Winnepeg
Ballet School, to name a few) we urge you on to .... excellence, dedication and commitment.
Come and see for yourself.  Make an appointment today for your future.  If we can be of any
assistance to you at any time, please do not hesitate to let us know.  

Sincerely,

Mary C. Geiger
