Pre-Ballet retains the developmental aspect of self-generated movement and the use of imagination to learn basic dance concepts. This course, for children aged 5 to 6, also moves past the Creative Movement curriculum to initiate fundamental ballet principals. Basic positions and facings are introduced from a movement-based perspective.

Ballet II/III begins to mirror the training principals of the Intensive Training Program by focusing on broader ballet vocabulary while also introducing students to work in other dance forms (Jazz Dance). Ballet II/III can serve as an entry level class for the School if a student has prior dance experience or is older than the recommended age for the course. This class meets twice a week.
