Ballet is an important technique for ALL dance students regardless of their natural talent or potential. Ballet training improves posture, core strength, coordination, skeletal alignment, muscle strength and discipline. These are wonderful attributes that help students in the studio in other genres (such as tap and jazz) and outside of the studio in their school and daily lives. This year we are proud to offer open teen beginner and intermediate ballet classes for dancers 12 and up. Students can take ballet once a week via this drop-in program. These classes are perfect to derive the benefits of ballet training without the commitment of a formal training program. We encourage all young dancers to incorporate ballet training, at some level, in their routine.
