Ballet is the art of dance requiring strength, resilience, elegance and grace all at once. It may be difficult to master and takes lots of patience and practice to learn. Ballet can be studied at any age. Girls who study ballet develop strong bodies, spatial and temporal awareness, and improve their coordination. A proved scientific, long-term bonus is that, it has been shown that girls retain the flexibility brought about by ballet throughout their adult lives. Ballet technique is considered to be the basis of training for all types of dance.

Pre-Pointe is offered to students age 12 and up who have demonstrated a serious commitment to their ballet training are preparing to take it to the next level. 

Pointe – Dancers must have significant prior training to begin this undertaking and must continue while training for pointe. This is necessary for consistent development of strength and technique. Beautiful as they are, pointe shoes are not magic and it takes dedication and hard work to dance safely and properly on pointe.
