All Bodies, All Backgrounds.
BalletO is a student club that aims to create a community around ballet in Oberlin where dancers with all bodies and from all backgrounds are welcome. We offer weekly ballet classes at varying levels taught by fellow students. We also host master classes taught by professional guest teachers and events such as film screenings. BalletO gives students, faculty/staff, and community members a chance to take class, teach class, perform, and choreograph in student-run shows.
