Ballet Classes
Ballet is the foundation for all other forms of dance. All of our Ballet classes are taught in the classical tradition, training dancers in disciplined technical background. Dancers learn proper stretching, body movement, body alignment and grace of motion while building muscle tone and core strength. Students learn proper Ballet terminology, technique, history and choreography.
