Enana Ballet Academy offers professional dance instruction for students ages 3 through to adults.
The Academy’s unique curriculum combines the best traditions of Russian classical ballet with elements of healthy technical and artistic training, promoting creativity and imagination while developing a solid foundation of dance technique. All classes are divided into levels by age and previous experience, where we encourage each child to reach his or her highest potential. Our program ensures a steady, careful progression from one level to the next and is followed by examinations that give encouragement and a sense of achievement to all students. Although we encourage and promote discipline and structure of ballet programs, we also offer the opportunity to enroll in other dance classes such as ballroom, hip-hop, gymnastic dance, etc. for those children who prefer more dynamic activities.
