Where every Swan takes flight
The Florida Preparatory Ballet School, in Valrico, Florida, was established in 2009 by Founder, Artistic Director, and Ballet Mistress, Yanna Llorente Ruiz.

The Florida Preparatory Ballet School provides superior professional training and aspires to nurture and cultivate gifted young dancers. The goal of The Florida Preparatory Ballet School is to set the standard for dance training around the world by producing dancers whose artistic qualifications make them superior candidates for professional ballet and dance companies. The Florida Preparatory Ballet School also seeks to further and enrich the artistic life of Hillsborough County by presenting high-quality student performances for the surrounding community.
 Entry is by Audition only.



The school offers students an enriching ballet education with a carefully designed and supervised level curriculum. All students receive annual reports following the yearly Performance Recital. The annual report provide parents and students with the necessary information and feedback regarding the student's progress and level recommendation for the upcoming school year.
The Florida Preparatory Ballet School has a structured level regimen for students to follow during their school years in order to properly train them for a professional dance and performance career. 

Students are encouraged to perform in annual performance recitals, competitions, and community events both in group and solo performances. Parents and students also receive information regarding the importance of a child's positive progress in academics, arts, and physical fitness. Students who enter into the Ballet Program, available for levels I through V are required to attend all scheduled classes for their current level, in order to properly begin to realize the strengths and weaknesses of their muscles and bodies. The Florida Preparatory School strives to assure that all students and parents recognize that due diligence and moderation are vital to physical training and child development in the art world.

Our top priority is your child's ballet and dance education.  Following the Vaganova Russian Ballet Technique, we seek emotional expressiveness, strictness of form, and a resolute, energetic manner of performance from each student.  Our students are taught to thoroughly master their steps and movements and are also able to explain how to perform them correctly and what it's purpose is.

Our classes are small and carefully planned in advance so that each student receives the personalized attention they deserve and in order to fulfill their maximum potential and to insure their artistic progress.

We want students who love to dance, and we want them to dance as often as they can and as much as they can! A hard year of constant study deserves a standing ovation and much more than just 2 minutes on stage.

Our school specializes in classical ballet technique, but our developing students also study contemporary styles and techniques such as modern, jazz, lyrical, latin jazz, and acrobatics in order to remain well-rounded and competitive. Students also study vocabulary, dance history, music knowledge, and drama. All techniques and studies which are included in their ballet program.

Our prices are determined with the best interest of your child's dance education in mind, they are low and affordable. We understand that a progressive ballet education which includes a variety of performances and competitive dances can become expensive, so we fundraise, and we do everything in our power to make sure our students are rightfully involved.
