Ballet - Grade 1 – 3 ages 9 & up
Ballet is the foundation of all dancing. All of our ballet classes are classically based from the Sonshine Christian Ballet Syllabus.* Classes start at the 'barre', which supports the balance of the body while completing various combinations designed to increase strength, mobility and 'turn out.’ The discipline required for ballet develops a heightened sense of grace, poise, and technique needed to excel in other areas of dance. Participation in an exam at the end of the year is optional but encouraged.
