Ohman School of Ballet – 631.462.6266
Ohman School of Ballet serves as training ground for promising young dancers and offers students the opportunity to learn classical ballet as passed down through Frank Ohman, former Soloist with New York City Ballet. We are committed to preparing students for a life both onstage and off through pre-professional programming, master classes and workshops, multiple performance opportunities, and a wide array of injury prevention and mental health classes interwoven in our world class curriculum.
The school opens its doors to all students who wish to learn proper ballet technique regardless of their future aspirations.
Located in Commack, NY, our school serves Nassau & Suffolk Counties and the greater Long Island/New York area.

The Power of Gesture Workshop
Sunday, April 14th, 10am-12pm
The Power of Gesture is an embodiment method that teaches dancers how to connect to their emotions and deeper self so they can better perform and connect to their craft. During this workshop, students and choreographers embody gestures that represent emotions that live inside of the movement connected to their choreography. This is an empowered experience that connects the dancers mind, body and soul which deepens self-awareness, acceptance and gives them the confidence to be who they are meant to be in the world.
