Classical Ballet- All students
can benefit from the discipline of the body and mind that is gained from studying Ballet. All students at Dancers Pointe
Academy are strongly encouraged to take Ballet lessons with any dance discipline they may choose. Ballet is the foundation
of all dance and is vitally important for quality dance training.
We offer 3 Ballet programs based on level, commitment, and age.
- Pre-Professional Program (ages 10 and up) is for students that want
to pursue Ballet in the hopes of becoming a Prima Ballerina. This program is an 8 year program and requires 4-6 Ballet
lessons a week. The program if completed would prepare the student to perform professionally at
the completion of high school.
- Ballet
Premier Program is for students in First Grade (6 year old) through graduation of high school.
This program will prepare the student for continued study in college or a professional dance company at a college level.
Students begin Ballet I. at different ages ranging from 6 years old to 9 years old. Students would complete level IV.
at the completion of high school.
- Pointe is offered for students that participate in the Ballet Premier Program
or Pre-Professional Program and receive an invitation from the artistic director. Students must be of age 10, take the proper
number of lessons a week, and complete a proper evaluation by the director and specialized doctor.

dance company at a college level. Students that participate in this program will have the opportunity to audition to be a
part of the Dancecore Company and students that participate in The Ballet Premier Program or Pre-Professional Program may be

Combination classes are for students ages 5 to 8

*For students that are more serious about their dance training and have completed Kindergarten, it is recommended
to take their Ballet, Jazz and any other dance disciplines they choose as individual lessons and not as combination lessons.
This allows greater emphasis on proper technique, as well as longer time spent on their dance training in each discipline
and faster progression. ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
