Teen Intro to Ballet is a program for older beginning students who are interested in, and curious about, classical ballet. This 10 week course is designed to introduce students to the foundational ballet positions and steps in the formal structure of a ballet class (Barre and Centre Work), as well as help them increase their flexibility and strength through the “Stretch and Conditioning” component.
Students will be taught proper alignment, ballet vocabulary and simple combinations of steps in a progressive manner, encouraging the development of musicality and an awareness of the aesthetics associated with classical ballet line and movement. As the class is limited in size and focused on students who are older than the typical beginner, there will be an ability for the individual to quickly develop skills and knowledge that may equip them to continue training, if they so desire.
For teenagers with significant previous ballet experience looking for classes, please visit our Young Dancers Program Cambridge or Young Dancers Program Dorchester page.
