BALLET

Learn one of dance’s most respected disciplines.

Ballet is one of the world’s most beautiful and revered art forms. The foundation for all dance, ballet contributes directly to the development of grace, poise, balance, flexibility, and discipline.  Children will love building on a foundation of basic movements set to beautiful music as they grow their strength and abilities. While it can be challenging at the higher levels, this traditional dance form is a pleasure to learn for all ages. Students who take ballet classes build self-control, body awareness and self-discipline as they learn to master increasingly technical moves.

We offer classes for students from ages 2 to 18. Book a free trial to get to know our friendly instructors and students.
