Ballet, Pointe and Character Dance

We offer technique classes at all levels from beginning to pre-professional. Our syllabus has a strong classical foundation to permit the student to eventually achieve a successful performance en pointe. Classical training begins at the age of eight and requires approximately eight years of continued training to achieve this goal. Additional classes weekly are required of the intermediate and advanced student.

Pointe requires a minimum of two concurrent ballet technique classes, three classes are recommended. Also requires consultation with and evaluation by instructor before placement in Pointe.

Character Dance is a class taught for the ballet student that represents a European ethnic dance of old school movements and is taken in character shoes.  Its basis is the national and folkloric dance traditions that are incorporated into Classical Ballet.

Ballet is available for students age 8 and older.
