Beginning & Elementary Divisions are for students ages 3 to 9. Classes are offered by age and are carefully developed in accordance with a child’s physical and cognitive abilities. Children are placed in a safe and nurturing environment and participate in the Ballet West Academy Productions.

Beginning Division | Ages 3-6

The Beginning Division is for our youngest 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. Classes are designed to encourage students to explore the elements of dance with a focus towards ballet in a fun and nurturing environment while setting the stage for future training. All students will perform in the Spring Performance.

Beginning A (Age 3-4)
Park City

  • Beginning Level A classes are interactive, 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. Ballet/Tap Combo class is also offered. Students must be potty-independent with no exceptions.

Elementary Division | Ages 6 and Up

The Elementary Division is for students ages 6 and up. Classes are offered by age and are carefully developed in accordance with a child’s physical and cognitive abilities. Children are placed in a safe and nurturing environment. Parents are invited to watch class during scheduled parent watch weeks. Children at this level will participate in the Ballet West Academy Winter & Spring Productions.

Elementary A (Ages 6-7)
Park City

  • Elementary A is the bridge between a creative format and a more formal structure to ballet class. It is at this level that we begin the systematic approach to classical ballet training defined in the Ballet West Academy syllabus. Basic ballet terminology and music awareness are introduced. Students continue to explore creative expression, refine motor skills, and gain strength and coordination, and will be introduced to nutritional “food for fuel” concepts. Children are encouraged to practice self-discipline, resulting in respect and safety for themselves and others.

Elementary B (Ages 7 and Up)
Park City

  • Elementary B defines the formal structured approach to classical ballet training. The student identifies and demonstrates knowledge of the body as an instrument by refining movement skills and coordination. Students gain a basic understanding of French ballet vocabulary, a simple anatomical awareness as it applies to ballet, and nutritional (“food for fuel”) concepts. Structured body conditioning and flexibility exercises are introduced as well as an expanded knowledge of syllabus exercises. Students continue to explore musical awareness and learn simple elements of creative dance. Summer classes are encouraged.

Elementary C (Ages 8 and Up)
Park City

  • Elementary C is the introduction to the fundamentals of classical ballet technique building to advanced beginner skills. The focus during these formative years of training is on traditional classical ballet techniques as defined in the Ballet West Academy syllabus. Students improve their understanding of proper ballet terminology and increase their awareness of anatomy, posture, and correct alignment. We begin to emphasize musicality, and further develop strength, coordination, and flexibility. Dancers should expect to spend about 2 years in the Elementary C levels. Students may be required to repeat this level and summer classes are strongly encouraged to stay on track for fall placement.

    Current dancers placed in Elementary C by Allison DeBona are welcome to register.

    If you are a new student and interested in Elementary C, please email Allison DeBona at adebona@balletwest.org to schedule a placement class.

Tap

  • Tap is an integral part of an expanded dance curriculum. Tap is beneficial in many ways, including increasing cardiovascular fitness, strength, flexibility and coordination. Tap builds strength in the legs and feet as well as increasing flexibility in the hips, knees and ankles. Tap also enhances cognitive abilities. To become proficient, dancers must develop muscle memory and mental acuity. Tap develops a great sense of rhythm and timing. Best of all… tap is just plain fun!
