Ballet
At First Position we offer Ballet classes 7 days a week! For ages 3-5 we offer “Ballet by Surprise” in our Creative Dance Classes. For ages 5-7 we offer combination classes so that children get a taste of 2-3 styles of dance. Our Ballet leveling begins at age 7 with Beginner Ballet through Ballet D. We also offer Teen Ballet for older beginners! Moving up a level depends on the teacher’s recommendation and the number of years a student has been taking ballet.
Pointe work is an extension of the ballet technique and is reserved for students 12 or older. All students interested in taking pointe must have a teachers approval to begin pointe classes and must be taking 2 ballet classes per week.
