Our Alumni Class is for our past CYB dancers who have graduated from high school and any Adult Intermediate/Advanced level dancers who would like to join us. Come dance with us, reminisce, reconnect, and have fun! We invite all dancers who used to dance with us during 2007-2021 and have graduated from high school, to join us for class at a Drop-In Rate of $10.00/class for memories, technique & fun!

Beginning Ballet Classique is for dancers ages 13 & Older who would like to learn the basics of ballet. This class is for those who love to dance but cannot commit to more than once a week. They will learn all the technique and vocabulary of our regular classes without the commitment of rehearsals and performances.

Pointe Class is required for Upper Division students once a week.

The Intermediate Program features continued progression with ballet terminology, the directions of body and feet, arabesques, attitudes, the positions of port de bras (carriage of the arms), basic positions of the body ( croisé devant , à la quatrième devant, etc.), and fixed points of the classroom or stage. They may advance with hard work, determination and discipline. Those who have achieved proper technique may qualify to participate in our Pre-Pointe (must be at least 10 years old) and Pointe Programs (must be at least 12 years old). Pointe work: Students may begin pointe work only at the invitation of their teacher. Dancing on pointe requires strong technique, muscle control, mental readiness and maturity to avoid injury. As a child is growing, the bones in the feet are ossifying from soft cartilage to strong bone. For this reason, pointe work does not begin until a dancer is at least 12 years of age.

Class is IN ADDITION to Ballet 2 class. This class is optional & meets once a week for 1 hour.

The Elementary Program features the beginning levels for learning ballet technique. Dancers will learn the basic ballet positions, the progression of a standard ballet barre and the French vocabulary that defines all of the steps in ballet. This is done in a creative and disciplined way, which is unique to our studio and our teaching style. Dancers will be placed according to the physical and cognitive ability of the child; therefore, placement is always at the discretion of the Artistic Director. Dancers in Ballet 2 will work towards earning their ribbons on their ballet shoes in preparation for being en pointe.

In our Early Childhood Program, we develop the entire well-being of a student, both physically and developmentally. Classes are created with Share Time (designed to enhance the social aspect of your dancer), Circle Dance & Claps (designed to enhance the developing musician in your dancer), Dance Space (developmentally appropriate classical ballet steps for your dancer according to age), and Free Dance (allowing your dancer to create, imagine, and freely dance in their own unique ability). Emphasis in these classes will be on rhythm, spatial awareness, correct alignment, teamwork, and focus. Most importantly, they will learn to love to dance!
