BEGINNING DIVISION
at our Park City Location

ABOUT THE PROGRAM | The Beginning Division is for young dancers ages 3 to 6 and includes Beginning levels A, B, and C. Classes are offered by age and are carefully developed in accordance with a child’s physical and cognitive abilities. Children’s classes are structured to place students in a safe and nurturing environment, and parents are invited to watch class during scheduled parent watch weeks.

CLASSES OFFERED | Ballet or Ballet and Tap Combo Classes in each level.

PLACEMENT | Formal auditions are not required for these levels. You may sign up for the appropriate class through our ‘Register for Classes’ link below. All students will perform in the Spring Performance at the end of the year.

Find out more information about class levels & schedules below.

If the schedule for a level appropriate for your dancer’s age does not work for your family, please contact Allison DeBona to review other options at adebona@balletwest.org.
 

 
 

BEGINNING A | Ages 3 - 4

BEGINNING B | Ages 4-5

BEGINNING C | Ages 5-6

Beginning Levels A, B, and C are interactive classes where children learn the foundation of dance and discover the joy of movement. We believe a child’s (and parent’s) early experiences with dance should make a positive and lasting impression. Activities vary weekly and focus on developing fundamental motor skills, strength, rhythm, and coordination. In a creative setting, children learn self-expression, self-discipline, and respect for others. Section 1 for each level is Ballet only, Section 2 is a Ballet/Tap Combo. Students must be potty-independent with no exceptions.

  • Registration | No Audition Required

  • Tuition per Beginning Level for the Academic Year: $720

    • Monthly Installment: $80

  • Registration Fee: $45

  • No performance or costume fees
