Discover Ballet

These classes continue to develop movement skills introduced in Discover Dance while also introducing the steps, positions, music and stories of classical ballet. Focus is on learning the correct posture and alignment necessary for more complicated movements. Initial placement is based on age. Subsequent progression through the levels is made on an individual basis.

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.
