In teaching ballet, Oakley Ballet Center blends both traditional and new styles of dance. Our teachers use the best of these techniques in order to create versatile, well-balanced, and knowledgeable dancers. We strive not only to create disciplined, well-trained dancers, but to consider the whole child.
We hope that through our training students will learn to apply the tools of their art to all aspects of their lives. We value children as unique individuals and encourage students to share with us their achievements outside ballet. At Footworks Youth Ballet, young dancers are crafting their artistry.

Footworks Youth Ballet
Report
Footworks Youth Ballet is the non-profit affiliate of Oakley Ballet Center. Footworks performs two full-length ballets each year: The Nutcracker in December, and a spring production in early June (see our repertoire). Student dancers train at Oakley Ballet Center and are encouraged to take part in Footworks productions to craft their artistry and apply the technique they have learned.
Outreach Donations
Report
Each year Footworks aims to bring at least 5000 students to see its performances through its Outreach program. Most of these students will attend free of charge. We still pay rent for the theater, though. Our goal is to raise $5000 each year to help cover the costs. We appreciate all donations, and we thank you for supporting the art of classical ballet and helping to bring this cultural opportunity to students in Ventura County.
Support
Report
Now in its second decade of bringing classical ballet to Ventura County students and audience members, Footworks Youth Ballet has consistently brought both The Nutcracker and a full-length spring production to the stage since 2004 (see our repertoire). Our families donate countless hours (and dollars!) to help Footworks each season.
