Classes are structured based on the American Ballet Theater (ABT) National Training Curriculum which aims to develop children’s physical skills and encourage creativity, expression, and musicality. Our progression appropriately introduces new dance vocabulary, develops musicality and spatial orientation and builds a strong foundation that will be key during their training in the future.
This class is level-appropriate for 5 and 6 year olds. However, placement in one of these schedules depends on different factors.

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
