FORMALIZED TRAINING STARTS HERE
Kids must build resilience to learn from life’s ups and downs and realize their fullest potential. At Alaya Dance, we cherish determination and perseverance, recognizing their importance both in and out of the dance studio. Can these qualities be taught? We firmly believe that the answer to that question is YES.
All following levels have barre and center work and they learn different combinations and steps as their ballet technique improves.
Pre-Ballet
