As your child gets older, their bodies grow and their coordination improves.We will focus more on vocabulary and variations to the basics of ballet. Through fun games, prompts, and ballet music, your child will enhance their foundation in dance. A demonstration for families and friends will be held during the last class of the session. Primary Ballet provides young children with play-based creative explorations in dance technique following the American Ballet Theatre National Training Curriculum. Each class incorporates a progression of movement activities. Children will bend, balance, stretch, spin, and leap through a series of ballet-based combinations led by a fully-certified teaching artist from Princeton Dance and Theater Studio. New and continuing students welcome! In partnership with Princeton Dance and Theater.
