Children’s Program

The Children’s Program offers an introduction to the art of dance by promoting the exploration of creativity and expression through movement. This program supports the development and improvement of motor skills and coordination as well as attention and listening skills, as a preparation for continued study of classical ballet.

No previous ballet training is necessary, our Children's Program is based on age, regardless of prior experience. Students must meet the appropriate age requirement by September 1st of the current school year. Enrollment in the Children's Program is ongoing through June. Students may join at any point throughout the school year.
