Founded in 1979 by our Artistic Director Nancy Tolbert Yilmaz

The Tolbert Yilmaz School of Dance offers training in various techniques of dance with age-appropriate classes. Each year of training provides consistent progress from the early basics to more advanced techniques. All students are afforded performing opportunities and, depending on their talents, the eventual option of membership in Roswell Dance Theatre.

Participation in our annual "Nutcracker" production is through auditions held at the Tolbert Yilmaz studio in September of each year at the Roswell Cultural Arts Center. Our open school students are also offered the opportunity to perform in the annual spring recital held in May.

We invite you to visit us -- online or at our studios -- to learn more about the exceptional curriculum, faculty, and facility of the Tolbert Yilmaz School of Dance.
