        Classical Ballet

        Classical Ballet

        The Classical Ballet Program provides the most comprehensive ballet education in New England. The quality of training that begins in the Elementary levels establishes the foundation for progression through the Intermediate and Advanced levels.

        Training follows a carefully designed curriculum  allowing each student to progress to their maximum potential. The faculty works to develop the student’s abilities in a safe and supportive learning environment.

        Upon graduation from the advanced levels of this program, students have mastered a thorough knowledge of the classical ballet vocabulary while gaining supplemental training in modern, character, Pilates and other electives, resulting in a well-rounded ballet education. 

        In addition to developing strong technique, students gain valuable life skills such as self-discipline and motivation, creativity, increased critical thinking, confidence and self-esteem.

        Elementary level students transition from the Children’s program and enter a more structured class environment. They are introduced to an increased level of formal training consisting of barre and centre work.

        Intermediate Levels

        Students at the Intermediate levels continue to grow in their ballet technique by meeting 4-5 times per week and developing a stronger understanding of the body’s movement. Instructors, students, and parents gain an awareness of the commitment needed to further the dancer’s training.
