Children’s Division
The Children’s Division classes are year-round classes for new and returning students. These classes introduce children ages 18 months - 8 years to their first years of dance training. Classes build basic motor skills, coordination, rhythm, musicality, and creativity. The basics of movement and being in a learning environment are introduced as well as fundamental ballet terms and positions.
Placement is based on age and previous experience.
Student Divison
The Student Division classes are year-round classes for new and returning students ages 8 - 18. Levels in this division are based on age, physical strength, and technique ensuring students can develop at a pace that matches their development and goals. Our curriculum stresses the importance of relating other techniques such as Modern and Jazz to the dancer’s ballet technique to create a well rounded dancer.
Dancers may enter this division starting at age eight. A class placement is required for Level 2 and up.
The promotion to a higher level considers the amount of hours required in the training for each level. Students are promoted to higher levels according to their individual progress and attendance.
Adult Division
The Adult Division is growing! Currently, the division has 90-minute dance classes geared for adults age 16 and older who want to learn more about ballet in a fun, safe, and supportive environment.
These classes are perfect for adults who have previous dance experience who may want to continue their dance journey or work on personal growth, as well as total beginners who want to learn more about dance and stay active!
