Programs

The classes, camps and experiences this business offers.

Pre-Ballet I

(age 3.5-5) In each session, the class focuses on the stories and music from selected classical ballets. We begin listening to tempos and rhythms in music and learn how to move our bodies in time with the music. Individual accomplishment and the joy of dance are highly encouraged, while also introducing the idea of taking direction from the teacher and sharing turns with peers. No prior dance experience is necessary.

Preliminary

(age 6) The goal for any young dancer in our program is to encourage individual accomplishment and the joy of dance, and this remains true at the Preliminary level. These goals are paired with instruction in proper body placement, muscle development, flexibility, and foundations in classical ballet techniques. Students also receive basic instruction in rhythm, counting, and tempo of the music (with an emphasis on classical ballets). This class is sometimes combined with Level A. No prior dance experience is needed.

Level A (age 7+)

In Level A, students begin basic barre work as they begin exposure to the structure of a classical ballet class that then progresses into the center where we work on expanding our vocabulary of the French ballet terms and their translations, through such movements as jumps, turns, and balances. These goals are paired with instruction in proper body placement, muscle development, flexibility and foundations in classical ballet technique. Students also receive basic instruction in rhythm, counting and tempo of music (with an emphasis on classical ballets). This class is sometimes combined with Preliminary. No prior dance experience needed.
