🩰 Ballet Program

For Ages 6 & Up | Four Progressive Levels

Grace • Technique • Confidence

Our Ballet Program is designed to support dancers at every stage of their journey—from foundational training to advanced technique. With four thoughtfully structured levels, students build strength, flexibility, musicality, and artistry in a nurturing, professional environment.

Whether your child is just transitioning from creative movement or aiming for pointe preparation, our ballet program ensures growth with care and excellence.


🌟 Ballet Level 1

For Ages 6+ with 1–2 Years of Dance Training

This beginner-level class introduces dancers to classical ballet technique in a playful and structured setting. Students learn:

  • Ballet posture and alignment

  • Positions of the feet and arms

  • Foundational movements such as plié, tendu, and port de bras

  • French ballet vocabulary

  • Musical awareness and rhythm

  • Simple traveling steps like skips, chassés, sautés, and polkas

We emphasize creativity, confidence, and classroom etiquette while gently guiding young dancers toward technical discipline.


✨ Ballet Level 2

For Students with 2–3+ Years of Training

This level bridges early training with more formal ballet structure. Dancers develop:

  • Deeper understanding of turnout and proper alignment

  • Structured barre and center practice

  • More advanced locomotor steps: turns, hops, directional changes

  • Introduction to movement quality and musical phrasing

  • Strength and coordination through longer combinations

  • Increased ballet vocabulary and sequencing

Level 2 builds stamina and encourages greater focus while maintaining a joyful love of movement.


🌷 Ballet Level 3

For Intermediate Dancers with 3–4+ Years of Ballet Training

In this level, dancers take on full classical ballet classes with growing technical precision. Classwork includes:

  • Extended barre combinations and center floor patterns

  • Crossed positions and complex footwork

  • Pirouette prep and more challenging jumps

  • Emphasis on musicality, expressive movement, and phrasing

  • Developing performance confidence and group awareness

Students begin to show deeper understanding of form, flow, and physical control. Multiple classes per week are recommended for muscle memory and mastery.


🕊️ Ballet Level 4

For Advanced Dancers with 5+ Years of Ballet Training

This level prepares dancers for pre-professional opportunities and pointe readiness. Dancers work on:

  • Full classical ballet structure with advanced technique

  • Pre-pointe and pointe foundations (as appropriate)

  • Grand allegro, petite allegro, multiple pirouettes

  • Complex adagio and lyrical sequences

  • Strong emphasis on anatomy, injury prevention, and safe alignment

  • Mastery of vocabulary and artistic maturity

Students at this level are expected to take class multiple times per week and show dedication to both discipline and artistry.


🩰 Class Attire

  • Ballet attire required: leotard, tights, ballet slippers

  • Hair secured in a bun or similar style

  • Pointe shoes as approved by instructor (Level 4 only)

  • Fitted warm-ups allowed during barre only
