  • Structure

    Each class begins with a mandatory warm-up and stretch. For the first few weeks of classes we will learn some basics before moving into our show choreography in later weeks. For our youngest class, “Look What I Can Do”, the second half of class includes a related craft.
    Please note that an adult aged 18+ must accompany every dancer in our “Look What I Can Do” class.

  • Target Demographic

    All of our ballet classes are open to any individual within the specified age range. We welcome dancers of all gender expressions and identities, abilities, and skill level to all of our ballet classes.

  • What to Bring

    Proper ballet slippers (not pointe shoes) are required for every class. Please see below for suggestions on where to purchase. We also recommend dancers bring water to each class, as we do not have a water fountain at our studio!

  • Registration

    Registration opens for our 2025-26 Dance Season in July 2025. Dancers register for both semesters automatically if registering before the semester begins. Dancers can pay for one semester at a time, or both semesters up front. If both semesters are paid up front and your dancer does not return for the Spring semester, that semester’s fees will be refunded.
