Pre-Ballet Program Overview (August–May)

Our Pre-Ballet Program is structured to run continuously from August through May, aligning with the academic school year. This extended sessional model provides young dancers with consistent, developmentally appropriate ballet instruction over the course of the year, fostering technical progression, classroom etiquette, and a love for movement and music.

Observation and Showcase Opportunities:
To celebrate student growth and keep families engaged in the learning process, we offer two distinct opportunities for parent observation and performance:

Mid-Year Parent Observation:
During the third week of December, we welcome parents into the classroom for an informal in-class observation. This demonstration allows families to experience a typical class environment and witness their dancer’s progress prior to the holiday break.

Year-End In-Studio Showcase:
In May, we conclude the season with a celebratory in-studio showcase. For this event, the studio is transformed into a black box theater, creating a special performance atmosphere that supports the dancers’ confidence and enthusiasm. The showcase highlights material learned throughout the year and serves as a culminating milestone for our Pre-Ballet students.
