PRE-BALLET     

Pre Ballet brings a focus of good posture and proper alignment. Coordination exercises and simple stretching are explored as children become familiar with leg rotation (turnout) and more complex movement patterns building up to work at the barre, center and across the floor.  Student's artistry and creative imagination are fostered as musicality is emphasized and the French vocabulary and history of Classical Ballet is introduced.  

The Pre Ballet curriculum prepares students for the technique required in the Primary Levels of Classical Ballet.
