Ballet

Ballet

Ballet sets the standard at Vestavia Dance. Whether you plan to take dance to another level, try out for a Dance Team or Cheer, tumble, act or play sports- BALLET is the foundation that sets you up for success!

  • Our Beginning level classes focus on the basics of ballet including proper placement and posture; body positions, plies, tendus, battements, and port de bras. Emphasis will be placed on understanding technique, as well as instilling an appreciation and enjoyment of Ballet, right from the start!
  • Advanced Ballet levels are a continual study of fundamentals. We require ballet for our VDPC dancers. In our Junior-High School levels, the study is extended to emotional expression and precision, more difficult technical moves, as well as developing fluid artistic control.
  • We also have developed an excellent POINTE program, and many of our dancers hold lead roles in the MAGIC CITY NUTCRACKER PERFORMANCE in Birmingham.

Ballet is the basis of all other dance forms and can strongly enhance any athletic activity. We strongly encourage that ballet be taken in conjunction with any other dance class.
