This class is designed to introduce students to The Washington School of Ballet’s Pre-Ballet program. Our Pre-ballet classes are designed to prepare children for formal ballet instruction. Students explore basic dance principles and ballet etiquette in a creative environment. Children are guided through a formal progression of exercises beginning with stretch and strength exercises, basic ballet posture, classical movement concepts, and differing musical tempos.
The Washington Ballet is proud to present Dance for All, a community engagement initiative that brings free performances, demonstrations, and dance classes to every neighborhood in Washington, DC. The Dance for All puts The Washington Ballet’s mission to bring the joy and artistry of dance to our nation’s capital into action. Learn more here: https://www.washingtonballet.org/dance-for-all/
