“As a parent, the greatest gift ballet has given our family is that no matter how hard the day, or how bad the mood they are in, I can take the kids to ballet and they come back out happy and re-focused.”
—CCB Parent
Pre-Ballet and Basic Ballet levels follow a carefully-designed, original syllabus created by the directors and faculty to introduce the correct technique and instruction at the appropriate age and physical development of the student. While many students may go on to pursue professional careers, the focus of training is on the excellence and joy of dance at each level of achievement. We believe you will share our enthusiasm for the benefits that ballet and its interrelationship with the other arts will provide for your child.
