About Ballet
Ballet is the foundation of classical Western dance technique, originating in the Italian Renaissance courts of the 15th century and refined through France and Russia into the art form we know today. Characterized by precise codified movements, graceful lines, extraordinary physical discipline, and a demanding vocabulary of steps developed over five centuries, Ballet builds strength, flexibility, balance, and body awareness unlike any other style. Students begin at the barre before progressing to center floor combinations and eventually pointe work, allegro, and classical repertoire. Ballet training directly benefits dancers across all styles — Jazz, Contemporary, Lyrical, and Musical Theater all build on its technical foundations. Whether a child discovering dance for the first time or an adult seeking a disciplined fitness challenge, Ballet classes are offered for all ages from three years old through adulthood and every ability level. Find a Ballet studio in your city and begin building a foundation that will serve you for life.
