Class Information
Children's Classes
Creative Movement  & Pre-Ballet
Ages 4 - 6
Beginning with Creative Movement, students learn to
develop coordination, rhythm and their imaginations in a
creative and fun atmosphere.  Pre-Ballet introduces
students to the very basics of ballet and continues work
on rhythm, balance, and individual creativity.  
Plastique & Character
Plastique classes are much like Pilates with added emphasis on the grace and line required of a dancer.  In
Character the focus is on the national dances of Europe like the Polka, Czardas and Mazurka which are
featured in many full length classical ballets.

Student Classes - Ballet 1 through 5
Ages 7 and above
Upon entering Ballet 1, students begin to work in a more structured and focused environment, learning a
graduated and carefully planned curriculum.  After developing a strong foundation in Ballet 1, 1A, and 2,
students are introduced to Plastique and Character classes in Ballet 3.  Pointe work is carefully introduced
in Ballet 4.  In Ballet 5 students continue their development, adding Variations where they learn individual
roles from famous ballets. Students reaching this level will find the emphasis shifting from the technical
accomplishments to individual artistry.
Teen & Adult Classes
The Teen & Adult classes are for dancers
interested in the benefits that ballet has to
offer without the intense training
requirements of the student classes.
Students new to ballet should start with the
Beginning Ballet class which introduces the
language and basic steps of ballet in a way
that is fun and easy to learn.
