Staunton Academy of Ballet

Staunton Academy of Ballet has a thirty year history of bringing classical ballets and Fairy Tales to the stage. In May of 2016 Staunton Academy of Ballet presented Alice in Wonderland, in 2017 presented Wizard of Oz, in 2018 presented Beauty and the Beast, and in 2019 presented Cinderella. Unfortunately due to Covid-19, SAB did not have a Spring production, but presented Snow White in the Spring of 2021 and The Princess and the Frog in the Spring of 2022.

Is designed especially for the older student who is new to the art of classical ballet, an avid “dance for life” or is refreshing a past knowledge with Beginning and Intermediate/Advanced levels.

Impart the fundamentals of ballet with both barre and center work. This becomes, for the student, both a physical and mental challenge as the emphasis on strengthening technique and more advanced combination of steps, musicality and skills are introduced at each level.

The levels in the Junior Division use a combination of structure and creative expression to develop strength, proper posture, flexibility and coordination, as well as a foundation of dance vocabulary and proper body placement.

Introduces fun movements that guide developing bodies towards greater dexterity and coordination with a structured class routine. Pearl and Ruby levels are a preparation for classical ballet which introduces basic technique as well as creative movement.

For ages 2 to 3 years is for our students who are not quite ready for a class without the comfort of having mommy, daddy, auntie or nanny, etc. holding their tiny hands while sharing in the joy of movement.
