Kids & Teens | 8-17 years
Pre-Ballet for Young Children | 3-5 years
In this introduction to the fundamentals of dance, young children will learn basic ballet steps while developing balance, coordination, and confidence. They will explore the wide range of movement possibilities their bodies can achieve—jumping, bending, stretching, and skipping—while building the foundational skills needed for more formal ballet study.
To keep their imaginations engaged and support English language development, many exercises incorporate stories, songs, and visual imagery. Let your child transform into a fairy, dinosaur, swan, or butterfly while learning the basics of ballet!
