Ballet Classes

 

The Borgo philosophy for our ballet and pointe classes is to instill in our students a love of the art, to carry themselves with grace and poise, to understand and apply ballet technique and most importantly to enjoy dancing. This setting creates a lively, nurturing, friendly atmosphere for dancers to explore the beauty of ballet, become familiar with and accepting of their bodies, make long lasting friendships and gain valuable confidence!

 

• Ages: 8+

• Our method combines aspects from Italian, Russian and French styles of ballet.

• Classes consist of barre work, steps and center combinations, 2 to 4 dances per season, port de bras and stretching.

• This class meets once per week for 45 minutes.

• At age twelve or older, with approximately three years of ballet training, the dancers may be considered for pointe shoes. This is a very individual level change in which the teacher considers a dancers growth, strength, and technique.
