Ballet is fun! The introduction of ballet-based movement begins at this young age. Students begin developing their gross motor skills using various types of music, props, and their imagination. Students practice taking instruction, plus direction, in an enriching and artistic environment.

PRE-BALLET | AGE 4–6

This division continues the development of gross motor skills while focusing on the foundation for ballet technique and the introduction to barre work. Students explore working with others, use of space, and the introduction to ballet fundamentals.

PRIMARY program | AGES 6–8

For greatest growth and development, it is highly recommended dancers attend all classes listed below. One ballet class is required.

PRIMARY BALLET continues to broaden the student’s ballet vocabulary, coordination, flexibility, alignment, and classroom etiquette. Articulation of the dancer's footwork and the introduction to one-handed barre work is a focus.
