Testimonials
San José Dance Theatre’s long continuing tradition as one of the Bay Area’s most reputable dance institutions is clearly evident in their magical production of ‘The Nutcracker’
We love that the school is providing a wide variety of training which all support becoming a professional dancer. Linda Hurkmans is an excellent classical ballet teacher.
As a mature adult, I am a total beginner compared to all the students, and I probably have more challenges including the least flexibility and the slowest learning curve.

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 1965, 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.
San Jose Dance Theatre congratulates our dancers on being accepted to these prestigious Summer programs for 2020.
