CHILDREN'S SUMMER PROGRAM
The fundamentals of dance are explored through basic ballet movement, stretching and imaginative play. The Pre Ballet curriculum provides the perfect introduction to ballet for
tiny dancers.
The foundations of ballet are introduced through exercises that develop flexibility, strength, musicality and coordination. The Basic Ballet curriculum provides a solid primer for continuing training in the Student Division.

As a parent, the greatest gift ballet has given our family is that no matter how hard the day, or how bad the mood they are in, I can take the kids to class and they come back out happy and re-focused. - CCBC Parent
