CLASSES

We put a strong emphasis on learning classical ballet technique and style. Because learning the basics of classical ballet is a critical part in development of any young dancer, every student is required to take a certain minimum of ballet classes appropriate for her/his age group.

Ballet classes include the following lessons:

• Ballet class (Bar, Center, and Stretching/Conditioning)
• Pre-Point or Point class (Subject to the student’s level)
• Variation class
• Historical Dance class
• Character Dance class

Will also offer instructions in modern dance and jazz.
