Pre-Ballet: Age 5 to 7

This program is a prelude to formal ballet instruction and introduces children to music and movement through a structured progression that stresses creativity and group interaction.
An excellent and fun introduction to classical ballet and fine arts, the Pre-Ballet syllabus is introduced at a time when fine and gross motor skills are becoming more refined. By introducing students to the basic shapes, positions, postures and traditions of classical ballet, the Pre-Ballet curriculum enhances both cognitive and physical development at this important time.

Pre-Ballet meets one time per week for 45 minutes.

At the end of the year, students participate in In-studio Spring Presentations during regular class time as well as other venues throughout the year. Parents will receive a syllabus outlining the details of the program.
