Atlanta Ballet Centre for Dance Education's team of professional instructors nourishes each student's complete development: Principal faculty Rosemary Miles and Armando Luna, Centre for Dance Education faculty, and members of Atlanta Ballet. We are also proud to work with such guest faculty as Robert Barnett, Director Emeritus, Atlanta Ballet; Li Chou Cheng, guest artist, Texas Christian University; Stephen Pier, faculty, The Juilliard School; Clara Cravey, Maiqui Manosa, & Gretchen Warren, master teachers; Tina Santos-Wahl, faculty, New World School of the Arts; Jose Viera, President of the National School in Lisbon, Portugal; Sharon Wong, Ballet Hispanico and Alvin Ailey School; and others to be announced.
