Ballet is the most highly refined and challenging of all dance forms. It stresses correct alignment, technique development, flexibility, strength and style. Our curriculum, as taught by an experienced faculty, starts developmentally appropriate and introduces students to the structure of class as well as stretching, coordination exercises, musical forms, improvisation and ballet vocabulary. Students follow a structured sequence of training stages designed to increase their technical skills, stamina, and discipline in accordance with their age and physical development. Classes will have spelling and definition tests of ballet terminology.
