City Ballet of Iowa cultivates the education and appreciation of classical ballet from the beginner student through the professional dancer. The Barragán's vision is to perpetuate the discipline that embraces sound ballet principles and technique which incorporate elements of the French, Italian, and Russian schools of training through the AMERICAN BALLET THEATRE® National Training Curriculum. In a healthy and caring environment, students share the joy of learning the art of dance and flourish in the areas of confidence, memorization, coordination, self-motivation, and the artistic appreciation of dance.
