Pre-Ballet
Twirl, leap, tip-toe and smile while learning the fundamentals of ballet. Join us in a fun pre-ballet class where a balanced curriculum, combined with imagery and props, helps bring dance to life. Children will learn ballet basics; foot positions, good posture, practice turnout, center work and combinations across the floor using a progressive, child-centered approach.
Beginning Ballet
In a beginner ballet class, a beautiful transformation takes place - a dancer is born! More discipline is implemented as the children are ready and eager for greater challenges. The steps are more technical: plies (bending knees while feet are in different positions), sautés (a variety of leaps and jumps), and so much more! Learning these steps will come together in a simple choreographed sequence.
Ballet I
Our intermediate ballet class focuses on building a technical foundation of balance, posture, alignment and proper execution of basic steps. In this exciting class, children will learn more challenging choreography and to incorporate musicality into their ballet. Center and floor exercises are used to improve coordination, flexibility, and endurance.
