About Our Program:

Petite Ballet is invested in fostering a love of dance in every young child. Classes at Petite Ballet invite students to learn to dance in an engaging, fun, and nurturing environment. It is our goal that after each class, dancers leave feeling accomplished, valued, and like they are the best dancers in the room! 

What makes Petite Ballet distinctive is that our studio focuses solely on early childhood ages. Unique syllabi are created specifically for each level, geared towards the specific emotional, social, and physical benchmarks for every age. This ensures that students are set up to succeed and meet expectations in each class, and guarantees that students will continue to learn new material as they progress through each age group. No matter which class a child attends or which teacher they learn from, students know what to expect from Petite Ballet - a love of dance and lots of fun! 

Students begin each class with a group exercise that allows them to explore developmentally appropriate versions of skills like spatial awareness, path finding, direction following, and body control, among others. Students will also learn correct ballet terminology through a series of imaginative warm ups and stretches that mimic center barre, building these skills to become more specific as students’ ages progress. Through the use of props, students explore how dancers can become storytellers, learning simple choreography to some of their favorite songs, which are carefully selected to appeal to each age level. Thoughtfully curated classes plus trained instructors equal a consistent dance experience across all classes and with every teacher.
