6-yrs-old Workshop

This is a one-week workshop for children who will be entering the first grade in Sept. and have not yet had any formal ballet training. The children will be introduced to the ballet barre and learn more of the formal structure of the ballet class. They will have jazz classes and folk classes. They will begin to learn about hair for the ballet class and dress code requirements. In a fun, friendly environment, they will become prepared to enter the Level I ballet class in the fall. Of course, there will be plenty of time to create some of their own choreography and prepare a short performance to be given on the last day of class.
