Ballet Program

The ballet program is committed to inspiring the dedicated and enthusiastic student to study classical ballet through structured training. Students are taught under the basic principles of the Russian Vaganova Method, combined with contemporary training methods. This curriculum is designed to guide the serious student into a professional company or a highly regarded college dance program.

We are dedicated to educating and mentoring dancers in a positive, nurturing environment and preserving the traditions of classical ballet through quality dance productions and education. We believe strongly in treating every dancer with dignity and respect. Accordingly, our faculty and choreographers are firmly committed to training dancers in a caring, yet challenging atmosphere.

The school instills in its students an understanding that they can push themselves and reach their fullest potential while still caring for their bodies, balancing their lives, and learning healthy life habits. Our goal at Elite Feet Dance Studio is to build a strong ballet program in which the students get a solid ballet dance arts education, whether their ambition is to be a professional dancer, or they just love of the art.
