Inspire Dance Centre's Ballet Program
Read through our helpful outline of Inspire's ballet program below. As a pre-professional studio, our core foundation is ballet. Ballet class is fundamental for a well-rounded dance education and supports the success in all other dance genres.
We strive to place your dancer in the best class level to properly develop technique, learn movement principles, ballet etiquette, barre work, choreography and musicality. As your dancer grows in skills and artistry, additional dance classes become available. Levels are listed below in order from tiny to pre-professional levels. Please contact us if you have any questions.
