About Us


Left AlignWe are the premier ballet school in Sacramento, California. Deane Dance Center and The Crockett-Deane Ballet was founded by Barbara Crockett and her daughter and son-in-law; San Francisco Ballet dancers, Allyson Deane and Don Schwennesen. Deane Dance Center is the prestigious founding school of the Sacramento Ballet. Since 1994, the school has won many nationally recognized awards including our most recently received award from the Regional Dance America/Pacific (RDA/P) for an original choreographed ballet.

From ages 3 through 18 years old, our ballet school highlights ballet classes and ballet techniques developed by Barbara Crockett and follows a syllabus which combines different techniques such as Cecchetti Method, Vaganova, RAD and SAB. Opportunities for more accomplished dancers include advance placement classes for pointe work and participation in the non-profit Crockett-Deane Ballet Company. Guest teachers and master classes are also included in our curriculum. Annual Ballet Performances highlighting dancers from the school and the pre-professional company also include local participants from the Sacramento Ballet Company and other professional dancers from around the world. In addition, adult level classes are available for ballet, dance conditioning, tap, jazz and zumba.
