Pre-Primary & Primary classes serve 6-8 year old students who are ready to advance beyond introductory ballet. These Saturday classes build upon fundamental ballet technique while introducing more structured classical ballet training. Students learn proper body alignment, basic ballet positions, simple combinations, and ballet terminology. The curriculum emphasizes musicality, coordination, and artistic expression while maintaining age-appropriate pacing and expectations. Classes help develop strength, flexibility, and discipline while fostering a love of dance. Students work on balance, turnout, and grace while learning to execute movements with precision and artistry. Proper ballet attire is required, including leotards, tights, and leather ballet shoes with hair in a neat bun or ponytail.
