Pre-Ballet

Pre-Ballet is designed for children ages 5–7 who are ready to take the next step from creative movement into a true ballet classroom. Building on the joy and imagination of early childhood dance, this class introduces the structure, focus, and etiquette of classical ballet training.

What Children Learn

• Foundational Technique — First barre exercises, classical positions, and simple traveling steps
• Classroom Discipline — Following a class structure, taking turns, and dancing as part of a group
• Musicality & Expression — Counting music, phrasing movement, and telling stories through dance

Our Approach

Pre-Ballet honors how five-to-seven-year-olds actually learn: with warmth, repetition, and encouragement. Each class balances the seriousness of real ballet training with the delight that brought your child to dance in the first place — so that discipline grows out of love, not pressure.

Students who complete Pre-Ballet are prepared to enter the graded levels of our classical curriculum.
