At West Point Ballet, our primary focus is on classical ballet technique, which provides a strong foundation for all other dance forms. This emphasis ensures that students develop the discipline, strength, and precision needed to excel not only in ballet but in various styles of dance. Our comprehensive training program nurtures dancers from beginners to pre-professional levels, fostering both artistic growth and technical excellence.

Ages 3 years to 6 years old

The Children’s Program introduces the dancer to the art of Ballet through a gentle, fin and nurturing environment. Through these classes the young children will develop an appreciation for ballet while discovering fun and joy in discipline. Good listening skills, manners, and following directions are emphasized in each class in an atmosphere that is flexible, playful, and satisfying to the children.

Levels I-VI

Students enter the School Division, Level I-VII, to start the formal study of Classical Ballet. Placement is based on the dancer’s technical abilities, not necessarily their ages. Hours and days of training increase with the level of study. Promotion to the next level of study is totally at the teacher’s discretion, with the student’s best interest in mind.
