BALLET DIVISION
Our Ballet Division Program consists of an established, integrated ballet curriculum focusing on the strong classical foundations needed to build and develop a healthy dancer. Boys take specialized classes to prepare them for bravura ballet vocabulary. Pointe work for girls, which requires physical and technical readiness, is introduced incrementally beginning in Ballet 3.
Children aged 7 and older progress at their own pace from entry level Ballet 1 through Ballet 4X. Level assignment requires a placement from our faculty.
The Ballet Division is open to all interested students; level assignment requires a placement from our faculty.
