Published Feb. 5, 2008 at 1:53 p.m.

The Milwaukee Ballet School announced today that a new Brookfield location opens in September in the Sendik's Town Center on the corner of Capitol Drive and Brookfield Road.

The new branch combines the classes offered at the current Silvernail Village branch and at the nearby Sharon Lynne Wilson Center for the Arts. The Milwaukee Ballet School's two other locations -- the Jodi Peck Center in Walker's Point and the Riverpoint Village branch in Fox Point -- remain open.

"The Milwaukee Ballet School's new Brookfield location demonstrates our commitment to growth and expansion in Waukesha County and meeting the needs of its residents," said Rolando Yanes, director of the Milwaukee Ballet School.

"The new branch will feature ample studio space and high-quality facilities to fully accommodate both our current students west of Milwaukee as well as new students in the area."
