Class
Ballet
Ballet here is barre work, center floor and a few steps across the room, in classes grouped by age. We begin with posture, the basic positions and the music, and a dancer moves up when the dancer and the teacher both feel it fits.
Ages 5 to 17, grouped by age
Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday
Classes of up to 12 dancers
