Teen Ballet
We offer two tracks for our teen dancers to support them in their dance journey. If you have always wanted to learn ballet, we provide teen dancers with a supportive learning environment with like minded dancers. Those with more ballet and dance experience can progress through our intermediate and advanced levels.
We understand that managing school, homework, family time, and additional extracurriculars is a never ending task, which is why we have designed our schedule to optimize dancer time spent in the studio. Essentially, we value quality over quantity and have created programs that set our dancers up to experience a full life inside and outside of the studio!
Dancers can also be evaluated to study pointe upon instructor and director recommendation.
We offer classes for teen dancers continuing their ballet education and training and those who would like to begin!
Aquamarine: Teen "Absolute" Beginner Ballet - An hour and 15 minute class for teen dancers. Ranging from teenage dancer who may have always longed to take a ballet class and are ready to start their ballet journey or for dancers who may have participated in young children's ballet and are looking to bourrée back into the ballet studio. Our "absolute" beginner class provides dancers with the chance to deep-dive into classical ballet technique in a welcoming and supportive studio environment. As dancers cover the foundations of their technique, they will also be given the chance to explore and express their artistry- truly enjoying the art of dance!
Amethyst: Teen Beginner Ballet - A 90 minute ballet class for dancers who have had 1-2 years of recent ballet experience. Dancers will continue to transform their technique beyond the fundamentals they have already learned in an "Absolute" Beginner program. Following a full ballet class format, dancers will build stamina, coordination, and continue to deepen and progress their artistry.
*Sapphire: Teen Beginner Ballet Bundle* - Dancers who have had previous ballet experience may be interested in dual enrollment in our "Absolute" Beginner program to supplement their Beginner ballet class. Please contact the office if you are interested in enrolling in both classes (Monday & Wednesday) at a discounted rate.
Ruby: Teen Intermediate Ballet -Ruby dancers are required to take 2 days of classes a week including the Tuesday conditioning & stretch class (Tuesday & Thursday). Tuesday's class is a traditional 90 minute ballet class set to follow the 45 minute conditioning class prior. Thursday's technique class is 2 hours in order to allow instructor to provide a designated portion of class to either pre-pointe or pointe work. It is recommended that Ruby dancers also attend the optional Saturday afternoon class combined with Diamond dancers for a technical challenge that will lead to even further progress of their technique.
*Dancers enrolled in all 3 days of Ruby level may attend the Sunday Open Enrollment: Intermediate Class at a discounted rate. Please contact the desk for details.
Diamond: Teen Advanced Ballet - Our Diamond level is for the advanced dancer looking to maintain and refine their learned technique. Beyond the technical aspects of their dancing, dancers will be encouraged to nurture their artistic expression in their movements.
