The ANMBF Dance Academy provides beginning, intermediate, and advanced training in Ballet Folklorico for children and adults for a nominal fee.  Academy curriculum also includes a ballet course for toddlers aged 3 to 6 years old, and Zumba fitness classes for teens and adults.  Beginners focus on basic elements of rhythm, posture, etiquette, and discipline. After mastering these skills, the students move on to learn advanced choreography, skirt movements, and turns.  Advanced and exceptionally talented students audition for ANMBF's Children's Ensemble and Junior Company.

Children develop strong relationships and build trust through weekly interaction with professional dance instructors.  Children benefit from this personalized, one-on-one attention and encouragement from dance instructors.  The Dance Academy encourages involvement of parents in students' lives, reduces students' isolation anxiety, builds trust through interaction with instructors, fosters students' interests in new subjects, and provides students with customized instruction.  These invaluable benefits increase the likelihood that youth graduate from high school and become productive self sufficient residents of the community.

All classes at the ANMBF Academy are taught by members of the ANMBF Professional Company and/or Artistic Staff.  All classes are audited on monthly basis to ensure the highest level of educational value and to ensure high quality.
