Alameda Ballet Academy

Founded in 2003 along with its affiliate school Alameda Ballet Academy by Artistic Director Abra Rudisill, Alameda Civic Ballet achieved nonprofit 510 (c) (3) status as a charitable organization in 2004. Both the school and company were created to impart the best elements of the classical ballet tradition to local dance students and the surrounding community of the East Bay. Alameda Civic Ballet strives to create and present quality community-accessible ballet performances while providing young dancers with valuable experience performing alongside professional dancers. In her lessons and leadership, Ms. Rudisill draws upon her 20 years of experience as a Prima Ballerina and Ballet Mistress with Oakland Ballet, and she seeks to carry on her artistic lineage through the education of Bay Area youth. "Just wanted to let you know that we were among the school audience today...loved every second! Wonderful concept, beautifully realized. Thank you SO MUCH for bringing so much beauty and culture to our town...and specifically to our school aged-children. Emily and Ian loved it. (p.s. everyone was charmed to death by the littlest ballerina - and I do mean all those schoolyard hardened 3rd and 5th graders!)
