About Us

As your child grows, they will reach many critical developmental milestones physically, mentally, emotionally and socially. It is a journey of discovery where your child will learn how to navigate life to reach their full potential.

At Ballet East, we honor and respect that journey. Our programs are designed to nurture the whole child from 3 years old to high school graduation. They are given safe, age-appropriate dance training at each step along the way and encouraged to explore and discover their unique gifts and talents. By following the science of child development and teaching a leveled curriculum, your child will have a dance experience with enough consistency, progress, and clear expectations to make it one of their most challenging yet rewarding learning experiences. 

Our littlest toddler and preschool students work on basic motor skills and learn to listen, focus and be patient. All that energy and imagination is gently guided into creativity. They learn to love learning.

Our elementary school students learn the fundamentals of dance and how to work in a group, cooperate, and develop a sense of belonging. As they see the results of their hard work, they build confidence and experience pride in a job well done. They learn to love the joy of creating something beautiful and meaningful in a group.

Middle schoolers learn to express themselves through movement in a way that is unique to them. They are encouraged to be themselves and love being who they are. This is the time when their technique really blossoms. It is also when they learn that it takes hard work to reach a goal. They understand instant gratification will not get them where they want to go. Instead, they learn to love the process of achieving excellence.

In high school, our beautiful, well-trained dancers perform with polished artistry. They have a good work ethic, know how to set goals and deal with the highs and lows of reaching those goals. They fully understand that struggling with a challenge does not diminish their self-confidence; it only strengthens it. They also learn to love how good it feels to give back as they become mentors and role models to the younger students.

Your child’s well-being is our passion. Here, they are loved, appreciated and acknowledged for who they are. Each student receives individual attention to be their best. There is no competition between students or comparisons. Instead, our dance studio is a place for learning to be your best self, a place to live your dreams.
