Curriculum
Pre-Ballet
Pre-ballet is an introduction to ballet for children from 3 to 5 years old. Basic ballet positions, movement, musicality, and self-expression are taught in these classes.
Ballet Technique
These classes are for students from 6 years of age through advanced level teens. They provide a foundation in movement skills, develop correct body alignment, poise, muscle tone, endurance, and grace. There is an emphasis on the artistic style of classical ballet.
Pointe Work
Several years of ballet technique are required before students can go on pointe. They must take at least two ballet classes a week and be at least 11 years old.
Adult Classes
These are some of our most popular classes. We offer adult ballet 8 times per week, ranging in level from beginner through intermediate to professional.
Private Lessons
We offer private and semi-private lessons for children, teens, and adults. There is specialized coaching from beginner through professional levels, and individualized choreography is available for competitions and performances.
