Creating dancers since 1972

Ballet and Pointe

  Classical Ballet classes at the Allegra Dance Studio are offered daily and are divided carefully by age and level of advancement. The beginner ballet classes encourage students to begin at age 7 when the body is ready to start to handle the rigid demands of classic ballet. The traditional technique of classical ballet has developed over centuries and demands dedication and great discipline and the we have created a way for a young dancer to gain the benefits of the fundementals of the classic ballet including good posture, poise, grace, musicality and long lean muscle tone as it is related to Tap, Jazz, Modern and even Hip Hop. We suggest that a student take a minimum of two ballet classes weekly and for those who want to do pointe the minimum of three classes. The young dancer will not only get great physical training in our ballet classes but will learn vocabulary and expression. The terminology employed in the class comprises a body of terms that are basic to all dance and represent definite positions, steps and movements. A dancer trained at Allegra can be assured that their training will prepare them for college placement if so desired.
