South Tulsa Children's  Ballet


Our Ballet program is designed to inspire confidence, discipline, and a deep appreciation for the art of dance. We provide a supportive and professional environment where students can develop strong classical technique, musicality, and performance skills. Whether your dancer is just starting out or preparing for more advanced opportunities, our program equips them with the tools they need to thrive both on stage and in the studio. We are proud to be part of the thriving Tulsa performing arts community and committed to helping our dancers grow as artists and individuals.

Each year, students have the chance to participate in two major productions: our Summer Ballet and The Children’s Nutcracker. The Summer Ballet is open to dancers from across the region and offers intensive training culminating in a full-scale performance. In the winter, we stage The Children’s Nutcracker, a cherished holiday tradition that has been directed by our accomplished artistic director, Pamela Farry, for the past 19 years. These productions offer valuable stage experience, bring our community together, and create lasting memories for performers and families alike.

My kids have been involved with this program for over 10 years and we absolutely love it. So much work goes into it and the kids have so much fun while learn what it's like to be part of a large scale production. The costumes are fabulous and the dance instruction and organization of it all are very impressive. Highly recommend this for all area kids in dance or gymnastics classes and for parents to volunteer with! ❤

Michele Ross recommends South Tulsa Children's Ballet & Theatre

Professional, skilled, tireless, dedicated, talented, patient, and kind are just a few of the many positive adjectives I like to use when describing the owner and teachers at STCB. I have had the honor of watching numerous voice and acting students of mine grow in their productions over the past several years, and I consistently feel thankful to these wonderful people for affording Tulsa’s best and brightest these opportunities for real-world training and success. We are truly blessed to have them here. Highly recommend!

We love South Tulsa Childrens Ballet! The staff is so positive and supportive and gives all children the opportunity to perform and grow as a performer but also as person. The performances are top notch. My daughter has been performing with them for a couple of years and I am sure there will be many more to come.
