Preballet is designed for the dancer age five through seven.   This structured class introduces the basics of academic ballet work, musicality, and movement vocabulary.  This class ignites imagination while encouraging trust in their movement choices.  Classes meet one time per week for forty-five minutes September through May concluding with The Spring Performance.

Ballet 1-4

Four levels of ballet give special attention to correct body placement for classical dance. All levels incorporate stretching and strengthening in preparation for the wonderful years of dance ahead.  Movement vocabulary is expanded with musical phrasing emphasized.  Students grow individually at their own rate being placed at the proper level.  Advanced Ballet gives the opportunity to experience pointe work for the serious dancer demanding strength, commitment, and focus.  Advanced Ballet at the Dance CenterStudents attend one to two classes per week September through May concluding with The Spring Performance. 

Advanced Ballet

Advanced Ballet is for the dancer seeking pre-professional dance education.  Advanced ballet students should be prepared for strenuous pointe work with an emphasis on classical variations and technique.  Dancers are encouraged to attend summer programs, participate in master classes, or join performing ensembles.
