Pre-Ballet and Kinderballet Levels
Our Pre-Ballet and Kinderballet levels are designed to introduce our youngest dancers to many of the dance
concepts including terminology, movements and musicality in a fun and safe environment. Much of their
learning is done through the use of imaginative play and games that develop skills such as core strength,
balance and flexibility. The classes are 45 minutes long once per week.
Pre-Ballet 1, Pre-Ballet 2, Pre-Ballet 3 and Pre-Ballet 4 are designed for our 3 and 4 year old dancers.
Students must be 3 years old by September 1 and able to use the bathroom independently. These students
perform in their very own recital in May each year. This recital allows the youngest dancers to be on the
stage for a greater duration and does not task them with lengthy rehearsals prior to the recital or spending
an entire show backstage as required of our older student who perform in our story ballet. Our goal is to
have the first stage experience of our youngest dancers be a positive one.
Kinderballet students must be 5 years old by September 1 to enroll in the class. These students begin to
transition to regular ballet by performing in our original story ballet in June.

Ballet Levels
We offer six levels of Ballet classes. At higher levels the class duration increases to meet the specific
needs of that level. More advanced dancers need more training at longer intervals to increase endurance.
Progression is based on skill mastery, not age, so sometimes students will progress faster or slower
When a dancer begins Ballet 1 it is normal for them to spend two or more years at a level. As dancers
advance, they will spend more time in each level.
