| Type | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Initiation | First introduction to dance from the age of 5, through music, discovery of space, and awakening to movement and body awareness. Through play and various supports, the child gradually develops creativity and coordination, while gently discovering the first notions of classical dance. | REGISTRATION |
| Ballet 1 | For children aged 6 and 7 years (first and second year of primary school), a first approach to ballet, floor work, barre work and a short sequence in the middle followed by large movements. | REGISTRATION |
| Ballet 2 | For children aged 8 and 9 years (third and fourth year of primary school), barre work and in the middle; emphasis is placed on the position of the body and importance is placed on stretching. | REGISTRATION |
| Ballet 3 |
For children aged 10 and 11 (fifth and sixth year of primary school), intermediate level ballet lessons. Importance is placed on strengthening the ankles. For some, it is the start of learning to dance with pointe shoes (lesson + p means specific pointe lessons). In general, this lesson is open to girls from the age of 11-12 years but sometimes later because one must wait for the bone structure and general musculature of the body to be strong enough to support pointe work without damage. It is not compulsory to learn pointes — each person has their own path! At the end of this level, 2 lessons/week are compulsory. |
