The Pre-Ballet Program

The Pre-Ballet Program introduces four and five-year-olds to the enchanting world of ballet through barre and floor exercises, across-the-floor dances, stories of ballets and great dancers, classical music, creative and character dancing. All children are encouraged to express their dance potential in a positive, joyous, and happy environment, with praise for each child. All of our syllabus material at the Pre-Ballet level is gentle and encouraging and stresses coordination and musicality.

Parents can always view their children through the glass window. Parents are invited to attend Parent Observation Day at the end of each term. Pre-Ballet students do not take part in the recital. We have found over the years that it can be a very traumatic experience for such a small child to get up on a stage in front of five hundred to one thousand people. We feel that children get used to performing in a safe environment on parent's day and then make an easy transition to stage performance in the Lower School Program. Students who complete the Pre-Ballet program are assured a spot in the Lower School Ballet Program at LSB.
