Ballet / Pointe

Ballet originates all the way back to the Italian Renaissance where it was used as court entertainment and then later the technique evolved and became more precise and formalized. Ballet is the main foundation of all other styles of dance and we recommend ballet to every dancer. It teaches dancers important terms and essential technique to increase their confidence overall as a dancer. Ballet is a classical dance form implementing discipline, grace, and precision. It is an essential component of dance because it teaches dancers how to maintain proper form and execute movement correctly. The most advanced form of ballet is Pointe which is only taught to and performed by our advanced ballet students with teacher approval. We utilize an American style of ballet incorporating a melding of Vaganova, Cecchetti, and RAD methods in our ballet classes. Participation in our Ballet Technique class is highly recommended to all of our Ballet students.
