As the foundation of dance, you will see you dancer improve greatly when adding on an hour of ballet. Our ballet only classes begin at age 6.

View all ballet class options by clicking the button below.

Preschool (2.5 -5), 4-6, and 5-7 combo classes include ballet/jazz and tap.

Read more on which age combo class is right for you by clicking the button below.
