Props are used to develop dance skills and range of motion exercises allow the child to discover how the body moves!

Classical Ballet: We teach a blend of Cecchetti, RAD and Russian methods with Bournonville, Balanchine and other styles included. Dancers today need a well-rounded background to compete in the professional world of Classical Ballet and we offer the only curriculum in the area that gives students the opportunity to learn proper and correct technique in a nurturing environment. We believe all students should have the opportunity to learn these styles with proper technique and placement emphasized, whether or not they pursue a professional career. In Pre-Ballet classes, the student is introduced gently to very basic ballet technique while enjoying the stimulation of Creative Dance exercises. Children at this age are not ready for the turnout and strict discipline of classical ballet technique. After the age of 6-8, the student is introduced to more of the classical technique and vocabulary as the child’s body develops and is ready for this curriculum.
