Ballet builds the dancer behind every style 🩰.

From first pliés to advanced training, dancers develop the technique, control, musicality, strength, and artistry that support everything they do onstage.

Our ballet programming offers age-appropriate training for different levels of experience. New dancers are welcome in our introductory classes. Dancers ages 12+ must have prior dance experience and may require faculty placement. Pointe work is reserved for faculty-approved advanced students.

Not sure which class is the right fit? Send us the dancer’s age and previous training experience, and we’ll guide you from there.
