Preschool Ballet (Age 3 - 4)
Our preschool program incorporates the basics of ballet with the dynamics of dance through games appropriate to the dancer’s age. Including: stage direction, rhythm and coordination, dancer anatomy and vocabulary. We ask our preschool dancers to bring a “baby” (small doll or stuffed animal) to every class, which starts as their comfort companion, transforms into their dance buddy, and ends up as their audience. We camouflage the learning with fun!

The Dance Place offers quality instruction in both Checchetti and Russian methods and terminology. Classical Ballet, Character Ballet, and Lyrical Ballet are all incorporated in our instruction. Advanced levels are available to our more accomplished ballet students.
Pointe (Select Ballet Students)
It is an extension of their ballet study, for those who qualify. Advanced-level Pointe students perform in every show of our annual end-of-season dance recitals.
