Primary Program

The Primary Program curriculum focuses on building a strong foundation in classical ballet technique, developing artistic expression, and encouraging personal growth. Within a nurturing atmosphere, dancers will also explore creative movement, learn dance concepts and vocabulary, engage in bun technique and stage makeup tutorials, learn audition processes, and be guided in overall dance discipline. Students will observe studio or theater rehearsals, foster
relationships with members, and be presented at either (or both) Nutcracker and Spring productions. Students may also be invited to participate in productions if casting opportunities arise.

​
