Class Descriptions

The Petite Tot Division is designed for your youngest dancers and is a caregiver and me class where an enchanting bond is inevitable. Children as early as 18 months can benefit from a very early introduction to ballet all the while exploring their creative potential of both body and mind. This class treats our youngest dancers to movement, creativity and exploration of the mind/body connection in the most whimsical way possible. 

Petite Tot Division 

The Children's Division is designed to embrace a more independent child while teaching them the fundamentals of classical ballet. Still maintaining the magic and whimsy of our storybook approach, this division introduces more structure while embracing and protecting their beautiful imaginations. 

Children's Division (ages 3, 4 and 5)

The Pre-Ballet Division is designed for our dancers who are booming with confidence and have a pretty solid sense of self. We continue to build on the foundation of their early introduction to ballet with more structure and more skill as they "grow up" in our program. Although there is more focus, the magic and whimsy is never compromised as we never grow too old to twirl to our heart's content on our tippie toes.

Pre-Ballet Division (ages 6 - 8)

The Ballet 1 Division is designed for our more advanced dancers who have successfully mastered the Pre-Ballet Division. Our dancers are ready for a more disciplined study of classical ballet. In this division our students receive a more comprehensive study of ballet with emphasis on terminology and proper body alignment. This division includes warm-up at the barre, center floor work and classical ballet combinations. We still incorporate the storybook approach with our more advanced divisions because learning about the history of these ballet stories only compliments their growth as dancers and lovers of this beautiful art form.  

Ballet 1 Division (1A and 1B) 

* Please note your child must be 3, 4 or 5 by September 1st to enroll in their respective Children's Division.

BALLET 1 DIVISION (1A AND 1B) 

The Grand Pas Ballet Program is designed for our oldest, most advanced dancers who are ready to make the transition to a more advanced training facility. These students will study more intensely and commit to more hours of ballet classes each week. To prepare them for the ballet culture that exists outside of Petite Pas Ballet School, these classes will lean more towards technique, structure and ballet etiquette. Our goal is to facilitate a seamless transition from our school to the ballet program of your choice.

Students enrolled in the Grand Pas Ballet Program will take 2 ballet classes each week. These classes will be 1 hour and 15 minutes each and will emphasize stronger technique, broader movement and language vocabulary, and more structured class work. Prepointe exercises, flexibility training and strength training will also be included. Students in this program will have stricter requirements for dress code and how they wear their hair.
