Ballet 1-6 Class Recommendations
*It is highly recommended that all dancers begin with Ballet class. However, we also highly recommend that dancers begin a movement class along with their ballet training as soon as possible. Dancers who take Jazz or Contemporary/Modern along with their Ballet training progress much faster and posses a much broader movement vocabulary.
Our ballet training is based on the Cecchetti Method and has graded examinations given by national examiners. This is a truly classical method for teaching ballet that is respectful of individual anatomy and strives for the highest level of technique over time as the body is carefully strengthened, stretched and molded.
If your dancer is new to Cecchetti Method training but has previous training, we recommend you schedule a class with us so that we can properly evaluate your dancer so that we can recommend the best classes for them.
These are general class recommendations. We recognize each dancer is an individual and want to help you find the best classes for your dancer.
As always, feel free to contact Meredith with choosing the right classes for your dancers: meredith@oneartsaustin.com
