Pre-Ballet (ages 5-7)

CLICK HERE to register.

Pre-Ballet studentPre-Ballet classes are for children ages 5-7. The Pre-Ballet curriculum was developed by Toni Bravo. This program is a prelude to formal ballet instruction and introduces children to music and movement through a structured progression that stresses creativity and group interaction.

An excellent and fun introduction to classical ballet and fine arts, the Pre-Ballet syllabus is introduced at a time when fine and gross motor skills are becoming more refined. By introducing students to the basic shapes, positions, postures and traditions of classical ballet, the Pre-Ballet curriculum enhances both cognitive and physical development at this important time.

  • Pre-Ballet Level 1 (age 5) meets one time per week for 45 minutes.
  • Pre-Ballet Level 2 (age 6) meets one time per week for 45 minutes.
  • Pre-Ballet Level 3 (age 7) meets one time per week for 1 hour.
    • Children in this level begin more formal ballet technique with barre work becoming part of their class syllabus.

Enrollment is based on a child’s age as of September 1, 2011.

At the end of the year, Pre-Ballet 1 students participate in In-studio Spring Presentations during regular class time. Pre-Ballet 2 & 3 students participate in The Academy Spring Presentation, an informal performance held in our AustinVentures StudioTheater.
