Beginning Ballet
Ages 5 & 6
Beginning Ballet level classes at Huntington Dance Theatre are designed for students that are five and six years old. Classes have no prerequisite and introduce students to the elements of dance, including a variety of body and movement skills, guiding students to repeat short dance phrases from memory, responding to differences in tempo and rhythm, and being attentive to dance activities and cues.
- Available classes include ballet, jazz, and tap and meet on weeknights.
- Students will either wear light purple leotards and pink/skintone tights and ballet slippers or white tops and black leggings/dance shorts and ballet slippers.
- Two performance opportunities: The Huntington Nutcracker and the Spring Recital.
