Ballet Instruction

Ballet classes at the Studio are traditional Cecchetti basis dance classes for dancers age 5-adult. We offer graded levels of ballet based on the dancers age, physical development and training. The younger classes emphasize basic ballet skills as well as:

• Stretch & Strengthening
• Body Awareness & Posture Placement
• Coordination
• Music Theory
• Ballet Terminology
• Group Dances

These skills are built, developed and added to through the levels of training until an entire vocabulary of the ballet syllabus is assimilated. Ballet is the most demanding and most disciplined of all dance forms. Once accomplished however, it is also the most rewarding. Occasionally ballet training becomes tedious for especially the young dancer; at this point encouragement is needed. The continued training of ballet, at the early impressionable years is most valuable. A strong ballet foundation is critical to becoming a truly fine dancer, in any dance form.
