About Our Introductory Division

The Introductory Division consists of Pre-Ballet levels and is for ages 3 to 8. Class placement is determined by age. This division teaches the basic fundamentals of ballet technique such as ballet posture, stretching the legs and feet correctly, and engaging turnout. Flexibility exercises and creative movement are included. The purpose of this division is to prepare younger dancers for the Formal Division.
