In 1970, the official school of The Israel Ballet, The Classical Ballet Center, first opened its doors in a small basement studio situated on the Kikar Hamedina of Tel Aviv.  The school has developed over the years to be the leading school for the study of Classical Ballet in Israel and today the many students, from the age of 7, are taught by the best teachers from Israel and abroad.

In the summer of 2004 after moving to the new studio center the school was able to expand its operations and hold classes every day, particularly during the afternoons and evenings.

There are lessons for students who would simply like to learn the secrets of the art of classical ballet, for those who want to make ballet their career and also for professionals seeking to improve their skills. The classes are divided according to age and ability.

Many former students of The Classical Ballet Center have gone on to dance as soloists with The Israel Ballet while others have found a home in companies in Europe and America.
