Below is our list of classes for June and July.
Children Division ballet classes are appropriate for students' ages 3 - 14 years. Classes meet once per week throughout the year. Students ages 14 and up who are new to ballet are encouraged to begin their dance training in the BRT Academy Adult Open Division.
Creative Ballet classes are based upon the student’s age as of September 1, 2025.
Pre-Ballet and Ballet I classes are also based upon the student’s age as of September 1, 2025 but previous training is considered and placement is determined by the BRT Academy staff.
Creative Ballet (Ages 3-6 years): BRT’s Creative Ballet classes are specially designed to provide children with a strong foundation in dance. It teaches the young dancer the basic elements of movement and dance: space and how to relate to it; locomotive skills; musicality; sequencing, patterns, and spatial relationships; opposites and directions; and elementary ballet positions. Integrated with these physical concepts are the intellectual concepts of creative expression, self‑awareness, imagination, and teamwork. Through class participation, students learn the basics of classroom behavior and manners, including how to take turns, following one another or leading the way, waiting patiently, working with others, and having a positive attitude.
Pre-Ballet (Ages 6-8 years): At age 6, students move into a transitional level between early childhood classes and those for studying classical ballet, introducing classical ballet vocabulary. The Pre-Ballet classes take the concepts learned in Creative Ballet and begin to put them into the format used in an actual ballet class.
Ballet I (Ages 8-14 years): At age 8, students are ready, both physically and mentally, to begin studying the disciplined and demanding art form of classical ballet. This level builds the foundation for acceptance into our Junior Division. It is highly encouraged to also take Children’s Modern once in this level.
Based upon the student’s age as of September 1, 2025.
