Dance with Me and Creative Movement (2 ½ – 4 years old):
The earliest preparation for the study of ballet begins with one hour classes, once or twice a week, for 2 ½ to 4 year olds. The children are introduced to the concepts of basic movements, jumping, marching, walking, hopping and are made aware of music and rhythm. Exercises for building physical strength and coordination are offered in a nurturing atmosphere. Children gradually learn the disciplines required in the ballet studio. “Dance with me” classes for 2 ½ to 3 year olds allow parents and care-givers to join the fun in the classroom with the students. These classes provide an opportunity for students who are not yet comfortable being in class alone to participate and also an opportunity for parents to share a fun activity with their child. No audition required.

Pointe classes are introduced in Ballet 3 depending on each child’s development. The emphasis is on how to stand with the body in alignment, the use of turn-out from the hips, pointing feet without clenching and the coordination of the arms and head movements.
