Classes for Grades 4–6

The following programs are for children currently in—or of age for—Primary School Grades 4–6:

G4–6 Ballet
&
G4–6 Contemporary Dance & Movement Lab

G4–6 Ballet

Our Grades 4-6 Ballet classes provide a welcoming, friendly environment for our dancers to continue to extend their Ballet technique, skills and artistry. Our Grades 4-6 Ballet classes consist of barre work, centre practise and travelling steps. The focus is on safe skill development as well as exploring self-expression and discovering the joy of movement.

Our Ballet classes are fun and engaging. We work to meet the learning needs and interests of the children in the class. We are always looking for new ways to engage and inspire our young Ballet dancers each week and employ a range of creative approaches to teaching Ballet including use of props, visuals and imagery.

The Grades 4-6 dancers work towards an in-house mid-year showing and an End-of-Year Show at a local theatre.

Inviting our students to connect with their peers—face to face—as they work together to create movement.
