BALLET Enjoy the study of ballet in a program developed to take the dancer from his or her earliest steps to an advanced level of study. We stress a healthful approach to all the work, which is a basis for our training process. Our guided progression of classes helps to build and enhance the dancer’s body and training. The student’s progress is carefully monitored so that they have the appropriate classes, regardless of age.
