Based upon the culmination of early childhood education theories, preparatory classical ballet technique, and dance therapy studies, Boston Ballet School’s Children’s Program introduces students ages 16 months – 7* to the educational journey of dance training.  

Our expert faculty not only teach the fundamentals of ballet but cultivate an artistic curiosity in our youngest students, utilizing imagination, storytelling, and expression through movement. In addition, musicality plays an important role in the progressive curriculum. Live piano accompaniment is introduced starting at age 5. Students’ progress through 8 levels of incremental programming before entering our Classical Ballet Program (ages 8–18).
