Beginning/Intermediate Ballet

Serious technique for dancers ready to take ballet further. Grouped by age and ability, these classes deepen classical vocabulary, alignment, and strength through barre, center work, adagio, allegro, turns, and traveling combinations. Whether your dancer is continuing from earlier classes or starting ballet as a teen, they'll be placed at the right level — with a clear path toward pre-pointe and pointe for those who pursue it.
Pre-Pointe/Pointe

Intermediate/Advanced Contemporary/Lyrical
(AGES 13+)
Tuesdays 7:50pm - 8:50pm
Emotion in motion for experienced dancers. Lyrical blends a ballet base with jazz and contemporary elements, emphasizing musicality and personal style; contemporary encourages artistic exploration, storytelling, and individual voice. A class for dancers ready to connect movement to feeling.

Mondays 12:15pm – 12:45pm
