Ballet is the foundation of dance technique and is carried over to most other dance styles. From beginner to advanced classes, students are formally trained while being taught the value of technique, discipline, and honoring tradition. Through ballet, dancers are inspired to refine the skills necessary to grow as dancers. Ballet improves strength, agility, flexibility, and balance, all while increasing the students' focus and body awareness. Students are taught to use proper posture, poise, and to present themselves in a graceful manner. Ballet classes are offered to students ages 5 and up.
