Classes & Dress Code

In every ballet class level, each student is encouraged to progress individually, while continuing their development of technique, strength, and poise throughout each class. If families are not certain about which class to enroll in, please check-in with our office. New students can take a placement class to be assessed by the instructor and they will suggest which class may best suit the student.
