Odasz Dance Theatre

The Odasz Dance Theatre was founded in 2003 when Jessica Odasz realized that her students needed a platform for professional dance education. The founding instructors of Odasz Dance Theatre formulated an innovative dance curriculum and began offering classes in the fall of 2003. 

Shortly after in 2003, Jessica Odasz founded the Western New York Ballet company. The professional ballet company was formed to bring full-length ballets to Monroe, Wayne, Livingston, and Ontario counties, and to serve as a professional stepping-stone for talented dancers. Western New York Ballet is commited to the preservation of classical and contemporary ballet, as well as contributing to local and national charities that benefit those in need.  

Odasz Dance Theatre dancers have won high-score awards at many regional and national competitions in tap, jazz, lyrical, ballet, pointe, and open categories. ODT students aren't just proficient in ballet. Our curriculum utilizes ballet as the technical foundation for all dance, however students take classes in jazz, tap, contemporary/modern, choreography and dance conditioning.  

The Odasz Dance Theatre is the official preparatory school for the Western New York Ballet. A major component of the dance curriculum involves student participation in WNYB's professional productions. Odasz Dance Theatre students are often asked to join the company after successful study in the training school.
