Classical Ballet

Students continue their previous training by learning more complicated movements and combining them into sequences. Strength and flexibility are emphasized as new steps increase in complexity. Students progress to balancing on demi-pointe in preparation for learning the first pirouettes, then frequently add jumps to build the necessary leg and foot strength required for pointe work. By the time a student reaches Ballet 7 & 8, steps are combined into longer, more intricate patterns and performed at a variety of tempi, requiring precision, alacrity and developing each student’s musicality and artistic expression.

The benefits of ballet training extend far beyond the mastery of steps and positions. Classical ballet training also develops:

  • Beautifully-sculpted, strong, articulate, and flexible bodies
  • The joy of expressing oneself through movement
  • Commitment
  • Determination
  • An appreciation for the arts—as a performer and as an audience member
  • Patience
  • Attention to detail
  • Self-discipline
  • The ability to set & achieve goals in the quest for excellence

Monthly payment plans are available with online registration.

In addition to learning and perfecting the most challenging movements in the classical ballet syllabus, steps are now combined in longer and more intricate patterns and are performed at a variety of tempi—from very slow, requiring control and balance, to very fast, requiring precision and alacrity. Great emphasis is placed on these development levels and in refining each dancer’s musicality and artistic expression. To supplement the students’ training and broaden their versatility, Ballet 7 students take weekly classes in Modern dance. The commitment required to train at these levels develops self-discipline, confidence, attention to detail and determination. Whether or not Ballet 7 students aspire toward a professional career, instructors challenge dancers to set and pursue goals that will help them achieve their maximum potential.
