Ballet Summer Program
CLASSES FOR AGES 5-18
Our ballet program provides a strong technical foundation rooted in classical training methods from French, Italian, and Russian styles. Dancers develop proper technique, posture, and alignment while learning to create graceful lines, fluid movement, and overall control. Throughout their training, dancers are introduced to and build their understanding of ballet terminology in a structured and supportive environment.
Dancers new to our ballet program should enroll in the Foundational class that matches their age. Those with previous ballet experience may request an evaluation to ensure appropriate class placement.
Four-week summer session: July 6-30
