Pre-School Program

Participants: This program is for young children 1 or 2 years before kindergarten. We offer the child a form of exercise that involves movement and music. An introduction into the world of beauty and grace. Children have a chance to try new things individually and in a group. This is a great way to introduce your child to ballet that is fun and rewarding. It's fun for the parents, also.

The child must turn 3 years old prior to October 1st of the current year in order to participate.
