Ballet is often considered the foundation of all dance, and for good reason! It is a classical art form that emphasizes technique, discipline, grace, and beauty. Even just one ballet class a week can significantly improve a dancer’s technique in jazz, tap, and acrobatics. “Ballet is the wings of all dance.” Ballet provides dancers with a strong technical foundation unlike any other dance form.

In this class, dancers will begin with a traditional ballet warm-up before learning the core elements of classical ballet technique, including alignment, posture, positions, and movement quality. Students will also have the opportunity to apply their training in a ballet routine performed in the annual recital.

Ballet helps build strength, grace, flexibility, discipline, and proper body alignment, all of which support growth in every style of dance. At Dansations, we strive to make ballet both structured and enjoyable so dancers can fully appreciate all it has to offer.

Recital: Dancers will perform a ballet dance in the recital.
