BALLET

flourished in the courts of Louis XIV. Studying classical ballet takes dedication, repetition,
memorization, commitment, determination, and a desire to succeed. Training in Ballet develops

awareness, poise and confidence. Once strength and proper alignment of the body have been
achieved through continuous study, dancers advance to pointe work. Dancers must be
physically,technically and mentally ready. Students must be enrolled in at least three (3) Ballet
classes per week.
