Fall 2024- Spring 2025 Classes!
LEVELED TRAINING PROGRAM:
These are the first levels of the full curriculum in ballet technique with a focus on teaching the basics of the movement vocabulary. In addition to technique, classes continue to develop creativity from the Elementary Level and introduce more exploration of choreography.

Middle Levels (ages 11-16) and Upper Levels (ages 13-22)
Dive in with our stellar staff accompanied by live music to gain strength and flexibility and learn techniques that reflect the diversity and range required by major dance companies today. Each student’s individual development is supported through our nurturing environment. It is our passion to develop students for success as artists physically and emotionally...to give them the tools to make each class a performance and express their love of dance!
Advancement is determined by the students’ progress in developing technical skills, strength, and artistry. Parental support is encouraged. We welcome new students at anytime.
