Ballet Lessons
Our ballet instructors teach girls the art and technique of ballet. The girls also learn what it means to be a daughter of the King by studying some of God’s character traits, including grace, courage, joy, hope, and faith. Ballet class is a fun and encouraging time each week as girls grow in artistic excellence and biblical truth.
Classes are a year long (15 weeks in the fall and 15 weeks in the spring) and include a fall program and a spring program.
Students are asked to purchase a specific leotard, specific tights, and a specific pair of ballet shoes for weekly classes. These cost about $36 on Amazon. New students will be provided with a link after registration.
There is no additional costume fee for performance costumes. Students will be issued two performance costumes—one in the fall and one in the spring. They will return the fall costume and keep the spring costume.
Trial lessons are not available for ballet.
