BALLET CLASS FAQs

HAVE MORE QUESTIONS? CONTACT US

Does my child need previous ballet experience?

Combo classes introduce beginners to ballet and tap. Ballet I and Ballet II / Pre-Pro require teacher evaluation before placement.

Will my dancer perform in the recital?

Combo classes participate in the annual recital. Ballet I, Ballet II / Pre-Pro, and Advanced Ballet are non-performance technique classes.

What should my dancer wear?

Ages 2–6 combo classes require a pink leotard, pink tights, pink ballet shoes, and tan tap shoes. Ask the studio for the dress code for other levels.

Is pointe included in ballet classes?

Pointe is a separate class offered by invitation. Speak with your teacher about eligibility.

Is Ballet II / Pre-Pro the full Pre-Professional program?

Taking the Ballet II / Pre-Pro class is separate from joining the full Pre-Professional Ballet program, which has its own selection process and training commitment.

Where can I find class times and tuition?

View the current schedule for class times, and contact the studio to confirm tuition and availability for your dancer’s class.
