All classes are taught by St. Paul Ballet faculty in our studios with live accompaniment.  These classes are for those students with some ballet experience. Email us at spb@spballet.org or call 651-690-1588 to inquire what level would be appropriate for your dancer.

What to wear: (two choices)
Simple leotard of your choice for summer without skirt, tights and ballet slippers. Tights and slippers should match in color. Students should choose the color which is closest to their natural skin tone or the color in which they feel most comfortable.

OR White crew-neck short-sleeved top, bike shorts, plain thin white ankle socks, white ballet slippers.

St. Paul Ballet recommends Grand Jeté on Grand Avenue in St. Paul for leotards, tights and shoes. 

Hair and jewelry: Hair pulled neatly away from face and neck. For the safety of the students, only simple stud earrings are permissible. Dangling earrings, necklaces and bracelets can come off while dancing and create a hazard on the floor.
