Ballet (ages 7-8) combines classical ballet skills with improvisation, composition, and rhythm exercises. This approach seeks to educate the whole dancer and give them a deeper understanding of ballet technique – one that goes beyond simple copying and rote learning. Students will be introduced to the language, etiquette, music, and stories of classical ballet. While dancers learn ballet vocabulary and positions they will not focus on the rigors of classical technique until after the age of 8 when their body is safely ready for more formal training.
