Description:

This class focuses on building a foundation in classical ballet. Teachers follow a specific syllabus that Artistic Director Jannine Saarinen has developed over the years to teach students basic techniques. As in our Creative Movement classes, the exercises continue to use creative play as a method to help children learn. The dancers are also gradually introduced to a more traditional ballet class format.
