Pre-Ballet division (Ages: 6 and 7)

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. Class is 45 minutes.

In 2020 Ms. Valerie and her family (Sidney, Maddie, age 16 and Reece, age 12) moved to Chester Springs, Pennsylvania. Since her arrival in PA she has been heavily involved with SALT Performing Arts teaching dance and doing choreography for various productions, while also running her studio back in Wisconsin.

She knew she wanted to bring the magic and joy that Petite Pas Ballet has brought to students in Wisconsin for over 8 years to her new community. She is most grateful to SALT Performing Arts for providing a space for her to take “petite pas” (tiny steps) towards her dream of opening her own location in the area (hopefully) in the very near future. In February 2022, we offered a few classes and they quickly filled up with amazing little students. We were thrilled to take our first twirls in West Chester with such amazing ballet students (and their families)! 

We look forward to our SECOND full Academic Year here in PA -a season that is almost already FULLY SOLD OUT!
