Classes Enrolling Now!
Duet classes are back
Duet
Ages 2 and 3 with parent or caretaker
Duet classes introduce the concepts of spatial awareness and cooperation within a ballet classroom. Simple musical instruments along with fun and educational props are used to introduce rhythmical timing, taking turns, moving in different directions and physical skills like jumping and galloping. Duet classes incorporate both individual and partner work within the class structure. Duet classes are offered in 9-week sessions. Classes meet once a week for 45 minutes.
