Take a Smaller, More Personalized Ballet Class at Catherine’s Dance Studio
Ballet is a classical and artistic form of dance. Since its inception, ballet has been the foundation for most dance styles. Our studio begins our dancers with the foundation of dance: Ballet Class.
When to start Ballet Class?
Our studio begins pre-ballet classes for girls as young as three years old. Also, for younger girls starting dance, we recommend starting with the Pre-Classical Ballet class. Once a dancer starts in our ballet program, they are exposed to the structure of a ballet class, aiding in strength, flexibility, proper placement, and terminology that will prepare a dancer for a wide variety of dance classes.
Our studio offers four different levels of ballet classes at this time. Each dancer is assessed for knowledge and technique before being placed in a level.
“Dance is music made visible.” – George Balanchine
Ballet Class Attire
“The grace and poise that a student learns in Ballet are transferred to other dances and to a girl’s life out of the studio as well. When I see a girl walking, I can tell she is a dancer. Her shoulders are back, she holds her head high, and she has that extra poise that comes from being a Ballet dancer. She carries herself differently, she is stronger and she knows it. She is a Dancer and that helps define who she is and where she thinks she belongs in the world. What parents give their girls and what she gives to herself in the dance studio makes a difference in her life.” – Catherine Stephenson
