The Ballet School Performing Arts
Lareen Fender’s The Ballet School Performing Arts has been in Walnut Creek since 1976. Lareen Fender, the founder of the school and my Grandmother, created a truly remarkable foundation. Lareen started a school where artists could foster their passion for dance and theatre. She wanted children to stay children, so they would grow to respect themselves and their bodies as they grew into teens and adults. Lareen instilled many life lessons in her teachings. I know there is really no place like The Ballet School. At The Ballet School Performing Arts, we celebrate the gift of everyday. We stay positive in our teaching and still teach excellent body alignment and technique, and discipline within both. It is my continued goal as director and owner of the school to continue to inspire and teach excellence in the classroom, as well as create a safe environment to grow and learn. The Ballet School Performing Arts is a very special place in so many ways. It’s our HOME away from HOME.
