Elementary Program (ages 3-8)

Our Elementary program, comprising Creative Movement and Elementary 1-3, is designed to prepare students for formal ballet training by building strength, flexibility, coordination, and musicality in a fun, safe, age-appropriate format. Classes are structured to include improvisation and learning through play while teaching the seven basic movements of ballet: plier (to bend), éntendre (to stretch), glisser (to glide), relever (to rise), tourner (to turn), and élancer (to dart). All classes are taught by our experienced faculty, not by student teachers, ensuring your child gets a first-class dance education.

​

The weekly class requirements for each Elementary level are as follows:

Creative Movement (ages 3-4): one 30-minute class

Elementary  1 (ages 4-6): one 45-minute class

Elementary 2 (ages 6-8): one 60-minute class

Elementary 3 (director approval required): one 60-minute class

​

Students in the Elementary program are welcome to take a second class each week, but it is not required.
