Ballet Technique I

The dance program at Break the Barriers gives students of all abilities the opportunity to learn a variety of dance styles. Our skilled dance coaches strive to teach high-quality dance technique, terminology, and etiquette in an effort to pass down an appreciation for the art of dance movement. We offer beginning to advanced pointe technique classes, as well as a variety of other dance genres. We endeavor to keep our program wholesome and family-friendly; therefore, we do not teach suggestive movements or use music with explicit language or poor messages.

• Classes are broken down by age group, not ability level. We want students to experience the magic in the mixture of all abilities working and learning together. Those who quickly master their skills progress to the next level; whereas students who need more time or adaptive equipment receive the necessary attention required to master their skills.
