Ballet Dance Classes

Ballet is often referred to as the backbone of dance.  It is what builds a strong technical foundation for all forms of dance.  Ballet is used to tell a story relying heavily on technique and requires an enormous amount of diligence and dedication.  Each classical ballet class will begin with barre work, to refine muscular and technical skill. After the barre, the class will spend time working on skills either across the floor or in the center.

At Donna’s Studio of Dance, our ballet classes are open to all ages and skill levels. If you’re a beginner, then we’ll teach you the foundational skills you need. If you’re more advanced, then we’ll help take your skills to the next level.
