All About Classical Ballet at UDA
Classical Ballet provides the technical foundation and quality of movement which supports most genres of dance. In ballet levels 1-4, our focus is to develop a strong technical foundation and proper body alignment. In ballet levels 5 and up we layer the focus of artistry and performance. In addition to the many physical benefits of classical training, ballet helps develop the mind and attitude of the dancer with discipline, focus and appreciation of structure which are critical attributes for a dancer's success. Ballet training is essential for any dancer who wants to excel in jazz and contemporary styles as the technique and vocabulary for these disciplines come from ballet.
- Ballet classes for Levels 1 through Advanced are held twice a week (one recital and one technique class).
- Recreational Ballet classes (for dancers in grades 1st-4th) are once a week ballet classes that participate in the end of year recital.
