Ballet

Step into the elegance and discipline of ballet with our ballet classes! Ballet is not just a dance style; it is the cornerstone of all dance forms. This class offers young dancers a comprehensive introduction to ballet, building the essential skills that will serve as a foundation for any dance genre they choose to explore. All dancers over age 8 are required to take at least one hour of ballet. This ensures that all students have the proper foundations and technique that will help them excel in other styles.

Students may start taking ballet at 3 years old.

Key Features:

  • Technical Mastery: Students will learn fundamental ballet techniques, including positions, barre exercises, center work, and across-the-floor combinations.
  • Strength and Flexibility: Ballet training enhances overall physical strength, flexibility, and body alignment, crucial for all types of dance.
  • Posture and Grace: Emphasis on proper posture and graceful movements helps dancers develop poise and elegance.
  • Musicality and Rhythm: Understanding music and rhythm is integral to ballet, and students will learn to move harmoniously with the music.

Join us and watch your child's dance journey take flight with the timeless art of ballet!
