Classical Ballet

The Classical Ballet Program provides the most comprehensive ballet education in New England. The quality of training that begins in the Elementary levels establishes the foundation for progression through the Intermediate and Advanced levels.

Training follows a carefully designed curriculum allowing each student to progress to their maximum potential. The faculty works to develop the student’s abilities in a safe and supportive learning environment.

Upon graduation from the advanced levels of this program, students have mastered a thorough knowledge of the classical ballet vocabulary while gaining supplemental training in modern, character, Pilates and other electives, resulting in a well-rounded ballet education.

In addition to developing strong technique, students gain valuable life skills such as self-discipline and motivation, creativity, increased critical thinking, confidence and self-esteem.
