Belleville School of Ballet

BSOB will never become a competitive studio, our foundation is technique and instruction. Several reasons the studio is offering this program: it is another outlet for performing, dancers can show their talent in other forms of dance besides ballet, improve our performance personality, and a fun outlet to see what else is out there in the world of dance.

Competition groups will be based on your dancer’s age and dance level. Dancers will compete in Spring with a group dance at two different local competitions. Choreography and rehearsals will be done in class, with one additional rehearsal prior to the first competition. If your dancer is interested in BSOBco.

Classes are taught to give the student an overall view of dance and to insure the best possible exercise. No less serious in its approach, yet especially designed for the student to stretch and tone the body.

Children from the age of three to five have a naturally active mind and flexible body. It is our aim to preserve and properly direct this in a child.

The result of this course makes it easier for a child to begin the more formal training that is required in ballet.
