Children’s Ballet (Ages 7+)
This class invites young dancers of all experience levels to explore the joy of ballet in an encouraging, age-appropriate environment. Whether your child is new to dance or building on previous training, they’ll develop strength, balance, and confidence through foundational ballet technique and expressive movement.

Children will build core strength, balance, flexibility, and grace while learning the foundational movements of ballet and modern dance. Beyond physical benefits, ballet also supports important developmental skills like focus, body awareness, and confidence. Through structured technique and expressive movement, children learn how to carry themselves with posture and poise, express emotions through dance, and experience the joy of movement in a supportive space. Whether your child dreams of the stage or simply loves to move, this class lays a strong foundation for all styles of dance.
