Ballet

Early Childhood

The Early Childhood Program is designed to form a strong foundation in dance and movement.  It teaches the young dancer the basic elements of movement and dance:  space and how we relate to it, both as an individual and as a member of a group; the eight basic locomotor movements; musical rhythm, beat, and time; opposites and directions; and some elementary positions of ballet.  Integrated with the physical concepts are the intellectual concepts of self-awareness, creative expression, imagination, teamwork, and basic body/health awareness.

Classes include ballet, jazz, hip-hop, & contemporary.

Child & Teen

An essential course for all dancers and gymnasts. Terminology, proper body alignment, and turnout are stressed. Classes begin with barre exercises designed to strengthen the muscles of the feet, legs and back. The exercises increase flexibility of ligaments (especially at the hip), to attain balance and control, to stabilize the turnout; and gain speed in the feet and lightness in the legs. The mechanics of technique taught at the barre are brought into center floor and used in dance combinations. The fundamentals of Ballet are the basis of other dance types for form, technique, and control. Recommended for all students.

Adult ballet

This class is for you whether you have danced before or this is your first time.  If you have always dreamed of taking ballet, this class will teach you the basics of ballet training and allow you to progress at your own pace.

From your first day you will enjoy the barre, center, and across the floor. In addition, this class will be an excellent way to exercise and stay fit while you are having fun!

(Ages 18+) Only students 18+ are permitted in the classroom.
