Welcome to our dance program!
Classical Ballet
Ballet is integral to our program as the foundation of all dance forms and is vital to a fully developed dance education. Our open syllabus ballet teaches correct body placement and technique, while disciplining the mind and body.
Dancers will gain strength, grace, confidence, and poise through our ballet classes offered to ages 3-adult. Dancers 12 and up who are enrolled in 2 ballet classes/week are eligible for Pointe classes.
