THE STUDIO, SCHOOL OF CLASSICAL BALLET
PREPARATORY BALLET PROGRAM Course Descriptions
Pre-Ballet - Ages 4 - 6
Pre-Ballet classes nurture your child's interest in dance, while increasing coordination, concentration levels, cooperation, flexibility and ability to follow instructions. Students are given individual attention and guidance. Classes sometimes incorporate free dance to give children the opportunity for self-expression, but the building blocks that prepare children for the structure of a ballet class are foremost in the class syllabus. Students who are not quite 4-years-old yet may be offered a trial lesson to establish their ability to concentrate and join the class; please inquire by contacting our Registrar.
We are providing two levels of Pre-Ballet for the 2021-2022 season. Pre-Ballet I is for dancers age 4-5 years, and Pre-Ballet II is for dancers age 6-7 years. Dancers will be evaluated in the first few classes to make sure the class best serves their own maturity and skill levels.
Primary - Ages 7 and up, by placement
Primary classes build upon the concepts begun in Pre-Ballet. Students are fostered to meet criteria that build coordination and physical fitness. Attention span is increased, as is spatial awareness and cooperation with others -- all in a fun learning environment. Music plays an important role in learning exercises. The beginning stages of ballet technique and discipline are introduced when the class is ready.
First class is always free - all that is needed is a signed waiver - come see what all the fun is about!
