The Home of Sawnee Ballet Theatre

Sawnee Ballet Theatre is proud to call Sawnee School of the Arts its home. Located in the heart of Cumming, Georgia, Sawnee School of the Arts (formerly Sawnee School of Ballet) has been a cornerstone of the local dance community since 1990. Established by Joan Kall Stewart, the studio is recognized as the longest-established dance school in Forsyth County and continues to be known for its commitment to excellence in arts education.

Our dancers train and rehearse in a welcoming, well-equipped facility alongside a talented community of recreational and other pre-professional students. Classes at Sawnee School of the Arts are taught by experienced and caring instructors who prioritize age-appropriate training, technical development, and artistic expression.

Over the years, students from Sawnee School of the Arts have gone on to attend top-tier summer intensives and collegiate dance programs, and many have built successful careers in both performing and teaching.

Sawnee School of the Arts is more than just a building—it’s a vibrant training ground and creative home where the mission of Sawnee Ballet Theatre comes to life every day.
