BALLET

Ballet focuses on allowing dancers to learn classical terminology and technique that is the foundation of the art of dance.  Dancers will learn proper alignment, posture, and fluidity through a series of exercises that progress from the ballet barre to the center of the room and across the floor. 

Dress Code: Consistent adherence to the dress code is an important part of maintaining a focused and professional learning environment. If a student is out of dress code more than three times, they will be required to sit and observe class rather than participate until they are properly dressed.
