Ballet Athleticism

Flex those muscles through exercises focused on flexibility, balance, strength, coordination, agility and speed. Learn that a dancer’s job is just as demanding as a professional athlete’s — and it’s tougher than it looks! Grades 1 through Adult. Includes instructor and 2-4 dancers.

Ballet Field Trip

Tour the new Baumgartner Center for Dance…you might get to see dancers in rehearsal, visit the costume shop and even try some moves of your own. Grades 1 through Adult. Groups larger than 30 will require multiple tours.

Ballet Careers

Students will explore ballet, along with some of the jobs that make a dance performance happen. From choreographers to costumes, lighting, and music, it takes a lot of people to help dancers put on successful performance. Join us as we experiment with what you could do, both on-stage and backstage, to bring a show to life. Grades 1 through Adult
