Ballet
Our ballet dancers learn the principles of technique and placement while developing strength through proper alignment and understanding of ballet vocabulary. Classes are offered for a wide range of ages and abilities. All Core Ballet classes begin in September and culminate in a year-end performance in May.
Our Fall 2021 classes will be IN-PERSON!
Core Ballet starts September 14th.
Ballet I/II (K-2nd) teaches students the fundamentals of Ballet Technique with an emphasis on placement, vocabulary and dance etiquette.
