This is the first level of ballet academic training. In Ballet 1, our students are introduced to ballet technique and terminology, both at barre and center. Our students continue the gross motor skill development from the Pre Ballet classes for coordination, spatial awareness, body awareness and other skills. They also focus on the development of physical abilities necessary for their ballet training with stretch and strength and musical appreciation exercises.

The Ballet 1 class gives our students a strong classical ballet foundation while also introducing them to the exploration of new dance styles. Our Ballet 1 students are encouraged to participate in both Winter and Spring Performances.
