Teen & Adult Classes
Keystone Ballet Academy offers classical ballet, tap and jazz classes. Our ballet technique training is based on Vaganova technique. We use a progressive syllabus, which allows every student to learn the fundamentals of classical dance, focusing on technique, grace, and strength while they improve at their own pace. All students learn proper technique in a positive and fun environment with easy-to-understand class instruction and individual corrective guidance.
Our tap and jazz classes are Broadway/Theater style allowing students to perform expressive dance numbers in our annual Spring Dance Concert..
Ballet - Beginner Level
Beginner ballet classes for ages 8 to 11. Students are introduced to the fundamental principles of classical ballet technique. Students learn proper body alignment along with foot, leg and arm positions. They begin to develop turn-out along with ballet terminology movements. Classes include floor strengthening, barre work, center exercises and moving across the floor. Suitable for dancers with little to no prior ballet, the class lays down the foundation needed to successfully study the art of ballet.
Class Schedule: varies by level, check current schedule page
