We offer pre-ballet for ages 3, 4, and 5. Classes in ballet, tap, jazz/hip hop, modern and Scottish dancing, as well as acrobatics to students from 6 years old, teens and adults. We are proud to be the home of many national dance champions, overall high score placement, best choreography, and best technical execution awards. Some of our former and current students have gone on to perform on the stage, television, movies, videos, amusement parks, cruise ships, national pageants, local venues and to teach throughout the USA. We know the benefits of dancing are remarkable for health, poise, grace and just plain fun, so we encourage everyone in the Albuquerque area to come and participate!

Our Mission

At Fishback Studio, it is our mission to stress the importance of dancing as an ideal physical education as well as an artistic achievement.

Fishback Studio was founded in 1945 by Dr. and Mrs. Fishback. Today, the studio is operated by their daughter, Kathie Fishback Anthony and her husband, professional guitarist Michael Anthony. Kathie trained since the age of 3 at Fishback Studio and enjoyed twelve years of professional dancing in Hollywood where she was seen dancing on the Carol Burnett, Dean Martin, Shirley MacLaine, NBC Follies, Emmy and Academy Award Shows among many others. Kathie loves sharing her professional experience and love for all dance forms with the students.

Fishback Studio maintains a wide acquaintance with nationally recognized teachers and performers from New York to Hollywood, and professional contact with these has kept our quality of dancing abreast with the times. Our senior faculty maintain the excellence of their training through constant study and personal appearances. Assistants in the studio are personally trained by the studio faculty. Most have eight or more years of advanced training in the studio.

Fishback Studio is a member of Dance Masters of America, Cecchetti Council of America, and Dance Educators of America.
