🩰 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
