Children's Ballet
Preparatory Dance
Children's Ballet
The Children’s Ballet program is designed for students ages 3-7. In these classes, we create a nurturing environment focusing on fun, creativity, musicality, coordination and placement. We instill students with classroom etiquette to prepare them to enter the Preparatory Dance program at 8 years of age. Students are divided by age to accommodate their developmental needs. Class numbers are small, so students will receive personal direction every class.
Important note:
All Fall Semester Children's Ballet classes will be held at the Arts-Based School
South Campus located at 962 Mock Street, Winston-Salem, NC, 27127. We are very grateful
to the Arts-Based School for this partnership!
The Spring semester classes will be held on UNCSA's campus unless otherwise noted (see below for the complete schedule).
All Children's Ballet Day Camps will be held on the UNCSA campus.
