Welcome to  Ohman School of Ballet

Located in Commack, NY, our school serves as a training ground for promising young dancers and offers aspiring students the opportunity to learn classical ballet in the tradition of George Balanchine.  The school opens its doors to all students who wish to learn proper ballet technique regardless of their future aspirations.

 

Balanchine’s Dancing Cowboy, authored by Frank and his good friend Emily Berkowitz, is an inspiring, American success story of a boy living in the rural West who sees a movie that changes his life, and with talent and work rises to become part of one of the world’s finest ballet companies. It is also the story of Frank’s relationship with his master teacher and caring friend, George Balanchine, and the life lessons he learned from him, in and out of ballet class.
