Bristol Ballet is excited to offer Teen Recreational Ballet this season! It's not too late to join us! Drop ins welcome.

We are excited to announce a new class this fall for teens! Teen Ballet is a great introductory class for beginners who haven’t tried ballet before. It is also a wonderful option for dancers who seek the benefits of ballet training without the commitment of multiple classes per week. This is also a perfect opportunity for supplemental ballet training for those involved in musical theater, color guard, band, gymnastics, and other performing arts. Ballet is also a wonderful supplement for athletes in any sport, especially football, basketball, and soccer. Even Michael Jordan and Lynn Swann took ballet class! Ballet can offer many benefits, such as improved posture, strength, flexibility, coordination, focus, balance, lateral movement, footwork, leg and core strength, and confidence. Learn ballet basics in a supportive and fun environment! (Ballet attire not required!)
