Welcome from Linda Hurkmans
Artistic Director

As the Artistic Director, it is my pleasure to pass on the legacy of San José Dance Theatre, founded in 1964, to the next generation. I realize that students have different talents and different goals concerning their dancing. I honor all of them and want to encourage their love of dance.

To dance is to be out of yourself. Larger, more beautiful, more powerful… This is power, it is glory on earth and it is yours for the taking

Excellent dance company for classical ballet training for kids and adults. I have two girls dancing here for 3 years.

We have been here for 2 years and we love it! I very much appreciate the classical ballet training they offer and the warm and professional staff.

I have never had ballet explained so clearly and thoroughly before to you as in this class.
