Creative Movement (Ages 4-5) Our program emphasizes the eight elements of movements: Centering, gravity, balance, posture, gesture, rhythm, moving in space and breathing. These elements are proven to be the foundation not only in dance but in the development in children physically and emotionally as they grow and are ready for formal and more structured instruction.

Pre-Ballet (Ages 5-6) Level 1 (Age 7) This is the beginning of a more in depth study of ballet technique. Basic steps, short and clear combinations, barre, and center work are introduced at this time along with the introduction of ballet terminology. Students are promoted according to individual progress and readiness.

Level 2 (Ages 8-9) Level 3 (Ages 10 and older) At these levels the training is more rigorous and demanding. New steps as well as more challenging combinations and more hours of training are recommended. More details and in depth understanding of classical ballet technique is taught. Strength and mastery of some of the most important skills is emphasized at this level.

Level 4 (Intermediate) Level 5 (Advanced) This is an intense program designed for more serious students who wish to pursue a career in professional dance or for students who just love to dance and enjoy the challenge of more advanced training. With up to seven hours of recommended pointe and technique training, dancers may be invited to be a part of The Columbus Ballet Company and/or part of the Trainee Program.

Students will rehearse with the company learning repertoire and possibly performing on stage at the RiverCenter, Springer Opera House, or our community programs.
