School of ballet or ballet school?
Hello native English speakers,
I was wondering if the expression "School of Ballet" sounded more sophisticated than "Ballet School" ?
Thank you!

I agree with Andrew that "School of Ballet" does sound a little bit more elegant.But of course the meaning is much the same.

It does make it sound a bit more fancier, yes :)

To me, 'School of Ballet' is something that you'd only find in the title of an actual school (although I think they often like to say 'Academy of Ballet', even more fancy, no?). 'Ballet school' would probably be better for everyday conversation.

Ballet school is correct, the same as driving school, secondary school, etc.
School of ballet sounds more foreign (and arguably more sophisticated), like when things are said the opposite way around.
