Children's Classes
Pre-Ballet
Our Pre-Ballet classes set foundations for solid technique and give students plenty of room for creative experiments. While learning basic technique students are encouraged to explore musicality and creativity using familiar songs and stories in relation to dance. Students need no prerequisites to enroll in these classes.
Ballet I - VI
Students in Ballet I - Ballet 6 classes continue to improve skills in coordination, strength, balance, musicality, and dance terminology. Students will need to have completed and shown achievement in their current level in order to be promoted to the next level, or have completed a similar level and technique at a different school. Promotions occur at the instructor's discretion.
Intermediate and Advanced
Students ages 12-18 with previous dance experience who have completed prior levels at BBS or similar classes at a different school continue to hone their technique in classes specific to their age and abilities. Intermediate and Advanced classes emphasize performance skills and offer challenging technique and repertoire for students which will prepare them for college level or pre-professional dance.
Intermediate and Advanced Pointe
Pointe work can begin in the Intermediate and Advanced age group at the instructor's discretion.
