Diamonds (Ballet 1)

Welcome to Diamonds, VOLTA’s Ballet 1 class! Designed for young dancers beginning their formal ballet training, this class lays a strong technical foundation while nurturing discipline, focus, and a love for the art form

Dancers will develop posture, alignment, and fluidity of movement through progressive exercises that introduce ballet vocabulary, precise footwork, and graceful port de bras. Class includes both barre and center work, with a special emphasis on center barre exercises to strengthen proprioception—helping dancers build balance, body awareness, and control

Students will also explore movement through space, learning across-the-floor progressions and circular formations to build confidence, coordination, and musicality. Creative expression is encouraged alongside structured technique, fostering a sense of joy and self-assurance in every dancer

Our supportive class environment values individual progress. With attentive instruction and positive reinforcement, each child’s unique strengths are celebrated as they develop both their ballet technique and their personal confidence
