Since its establishment in 2003, City Ballet San Francisco (CBSF) has placed students into national and international professional ballet and dance companies. In addition to preparing students for professional ballet careers, CBSF is a growing place where students learn, become, and flourish. Through an education in classical ballet guided by the Vaganova Method, opportunities for personal and professional growth, and artistic development, CBSF challenges students to reach their highest potential and enrich their lives through dance.

CBSF differentiates itself from other ballet schools by providing students with a plethora of opportunities, all intended to develop personal and professional growth.

At CBSF, students will perform in professional-quality productions multiple times a year, have access to career guidance, mentorship, and crucial professional connections, and compete in national and international competitions with success.
