Ballet
Level 1 - ages 6-10 (MUST be 6 by first class)
Level 2 - suggested ages 7-12 (requires 1+ years prior ballet experience)
Ballet is the foundation of many forms of dance. In a beginning class, dancers learn basic exercises and steps, and they perform simple combinations at slow tempos. Classes typically consist of several segments: barre, center, adagio, allegro, and reverence. Proper technique, body alignment, positioning, gained flexibility and core strength are just some of the benefits of Ballet. We highly recommend ballet to all our serious dancers.
Summer Session will not include any costumes or recital, but will include some technique as well as combinations.
Fall Session classes will culminate in an annual Recital and include added costs such as costume and recital fees.
Dress Code Required for ALL Students:
Females: Leotard, PINK tights, PINK "split-sole" BALERA or WEISSMAN brand ballet slippers (ballet skirts and leg warmers are acceptable as well). Hair should be worn in a bun for every class.
Males: Black tights/leggings, black form-fitting shirt or tank top, Black ballet shoes. (All are available for sizing and purchase in our CMI Boutique)
