WELCOME to the Judith Svalander School of Ballet, home of the Judith Svalander Dance Theatre, resident dance company for the Woodstock Opera House. In this unique suburban school, completely dedicated to the development of dance, the student has the opportunity to enrich his or her life through professional training that combines the skills and the joy of movement and music. In this atmosphere the discerning parent or student will see all that is to be derived from such training.

*a well-disciplined mind and body *a deeper appreciation of the art of dance *a mature enjoyment of music *a creative approach to living

It is the school's philosophy that these benefits should be an essential part of everyone’s education and personal enhancement, whether male or female, young or old, whether or not the student is interested in a professional career or merely seeks self-improvement and pleasure through development in dance.

The Judith Svalander School of Ballet is located at 83 E. Woodstock Street in downtown Crystal Lake, Illinois, across from the train station. Our phone number is (815) 455-2055, and our e-mail address info@jsvalander.com.
