The Odette School of Ballet
The Odette School of Ballet was founded by Emma Mahony, a registered ballet teacher with the Royal Academy of Dance. The ballet school is located in Bayside and Baldoyle, Dublin 13. We offer classical ballet classes to children, teens and adults. Students will have the opportunity to participate in shows, examinations and other exciting events such as school trips to the theatre. We also offer a specialised ballet class for older learners called Silver Swans ballet, this is a dance class for learners over the age of 55. The Odette School of Ballet prides itself on offering dance classes that support and encourage students to enjoy movement and have fun.
