PRE-PRIMARY & PRIMARY BALLET CLASSES
IDEAL AGES: 3 - 8
Pre-Primary Ballet Classes are beginner ballet classes for kids between the ages of 3 and 5. This is a lovely, fun class where technique is taught, but overall, the dancers have fun and learn how their bodies can move.
Pre-Primary ballet classes assist in developing several important skills for a young child's development. These include improving gross and fine motor skills; encouraging the use of both sides of the body for all movements; building strength and flexibility in a gentle, caring manner; and developing the imagination. Dancers make new friends, learn discipline and respect, and all feel a wonderful sense of achievement after all their hard work. Dancers younger than age 3 (about 2.5 years old) have also successfully joined this class and thrived.
Primary Ballet Classes are also beginner ballet classes, for kids between the ages of 6 and 8. It is not necessary for the individual to have danced before. The Primary level offers an exceptional foundation for classical ballet, while always incorporating the imagination and enjoyment dance brings.
Dancers are always excited and proud to work on the Primary level as they learn many new movements and are more aware of their progress each lesson. The Primary level focuses on skills in addition to those from Pre-Primary, such as co-ordination, balance, musicality, group work, and performance (expressing the appropriate quality for each exercise).
We encourage you to bring your child for a free trial class so that they can be correctly placed in the appropriate class.
