Classes
Classical Ballet
Classical ballet provides the foundation for all other dance styles and therefore we place great emphasis on our ballet program. When a dancer turns 8 he/she commences the Russian Vaganova syllabus which emphasizes artistic expression in ballet together with a high level of technique. It is an 8-year program from beginners to professionals. At the advanced levels of ballet Pointe' work is also introduced. When starting "Ballet Beginners level 1" we highly recommend attending the class twice a week in order to excel in the challenging classical ballet technique. We offer a 20% discount on the second class if choosing to attend the classes twice a week.

Our unique Creative Movement program has been developed over many years. This is a fun introduction to the world of dance. These classes are based on classical ballet and offer a rewarding experience of creative expression and are designed to enhance movement skills, imagination, musical and sensory awareness. In this class, we explore physical concepts such as personal and shared space, directions, rhythm, speed, and energy. Our routine exercises include balance, strength, flexibility, and coordination through which the children learn about the complexity of their own body, its movement range, and controlling the movement. At the core of the lesson, we use movement stories to stimulate the child's imagination. These stories are inspired by our everyday life. Each lesson has a different theme. Our Creative movement classes are divided into two levels according to age: Ages 3-4 Creative Movement level 1. Ages 4-5: Creative Movement level 2.
