Ballet is the foundation of all dance forms. In our ballet classes, body placement, flexibility, balance, alignment, strength and classic technique are achieved through barre and center floor work. Ballet classes at Miller Street Dance Academy are divided into six levels. Students begin our ballet program at 7 years old and automatically register for Ballet I at this age. Ballet levels II-VI are based on teacher placement and will be posted by the instructors for all returning students. New students older than age 7 are to arrange a trial class for placement. (Younger students are placed in a Combination class by age, see Tap/Ballet Combo above) Back to top |
