Description:

Ballet is the foundation of all dance styles. With proper ballet technique other dance forms are more easily learned. Ballet is difficult and requires time, energy and commitment to the art form. Because of its difficulty it is NOT expected that students progress a level every year. At times a student may be asked to stay in a level a few years to gain the necessary technique in order to progress to the next level. Every student progresses differently and learns at a different rate. We try to cater to each individual student and help our students reach their ballet goals.
