Ballet Classes
2024-2025
Tiny Tot Ballet
(ages 2 - 7 years)
Tiny Tot Ballet utilizes the RAD’s Dance to Your Own Tune curriculum, delightful and fun lessons designed to motivate our youngest dancers. This gentle and playful introduction to the classical ballet world includes: skipping, galloping, hopping, jumping with two feet, running, free movement, using hands to express feeling, and even twirling your skirt. These elements of coordination and strength are the early building blocks of dance training that often entice our students to fall in love with ballet and inspires them to continue developing dance skills with us for years.
GRADES 1 - 5 (ages 8 - 12 years)
Grade 1 introduces the student to the beginning of formal training. Each grade builds a progressive vocabulary in the technique of ballet, as well as character.
By Grades 4 and 5 students consolidate technical skills and an extended range of movements in sequences of increased length and complexity. They will acquire a clear understanding of the mechanics and techniques of good ballet training. Musicality and expression are emphasized throughout these grades.
At the Grade 4/5 level, assuming students have gained enough strength and control, pointe shoes will be introduced.
