Let us gracefully guide your child’s first steps in ballet

 

An introduction to the graceful world of ballet. Students learn preschool ballet skills and steps and have fun expressing themselves through creative movement. We follow the beautiful Angelina Ballerina Academy® curriculum and provide a nurturing, developmentally appropriate environment for our budding dancers. Parents do not sit inside the studio but can see through viewing windows. Students at this level take part in an annual informal presentation class with parents as an audience, plus an end-of-year theatre show every second year.
