Ballet Classes
Our ballet program is specifically adaptable to each individual dancer. We believe in Ballet Technique as our basis for movement, and have developed a program that will help each dancer to approach ballet in a healthy, safe and intentional setting. Ballet can be for all! Our ballet classes are designed to follow a structured sequence of training intended to increase each student’s technical skills, stamina, & discipline in accordance with their age and physical development while having adaptable movement as per technique level. Our curriculum embraces traditional ballet principles and incorporates elements of the French, Italian, & Russian training styles as well as Progressive Ballet Technique and that fun "Miss Katie" twist!
Our team will lead your ballet dancer to expand their ballet technique, discover teamwork skills, continue finding self-confidence, while still having that flair of fun energy that is included in all our classes! Our weekly classes will focus on basic ballet technique, proper body alignment, French terminology and musicality. Adaptable movement will be provided. Students will be introduced to barre and center work, and a final optional dance project to be performed in the Winter Showcase as well as Spring.
