Dance Classes

Ballet Classes for Children, Teens & Adults

Ballet is considered the foundation of all dance styles, and it’s where dancers build the strength, control, and body awareness that carry over into every other discipline. In our ballet classes, students learn proper alignment and placement, classical terminology, and the flexibility and muscle strength developed through barre work, center combinations, and across-the-floor exercises. Choreography learned throughout the year prepares each dancer for their recital performance.

Advanced-level students may progress to pointe work once they’ve built the strength and technique pointe shoes require, with close instructor guidance every step of the way.

Pointe — Teacher Referral

Pointe continues the training students build in ballet, applying fundamental technique to work on pointe. Pointe is an extension of ballet, not a replacement for it — students enrolled in pointe are required to continue taking ballet alongside it, which helps them maintain the strength this discipline demands. Along with barre work and combinations, students apply their pointe technique in their recital dance.

Class Details

Ages: Teacher referral only, in addition to an existing ballet class
Attire: pointe shoes, leotard, tights, hair worn up. No jeans, flannel, or pajama pants — dance shoes only, no casual/everyday shoes
