Classical Ballet - Beginning - Ages 8-13

About this event

Designed for young dancers ages 8-13 with 0 or more years of experience, this classical ballet class offers an excellent foundation in ballet technique. Following the Royal Academy of Dance syllabus and incorporating the renowned Tempo-Level-Energy and Shapes program, students will develop essential ballet skills through structured barre and floor exercises. Emphasis is placed on building muscular strength, improving mental focus, vocabulary, and mastering proper posture. In addition to technique, students will learn the importance of classroom etiquette and discipline, setting them up for success in both dance and personal growth. This class is open to students with 0-2 years of dance experience. No prior ballet training is necessary, making it an ideal starting point for young dancers eager to learn. Students outside the 8-13 age range may also participate in the class with instructor approval, ensuring all students are placed in the most suitable environment for their development.
