Many other dance forms as well as physical activities such as gymnastics and skating recommend ballet because of the inherent qualities that are developed.
Students are trained in classical ballet through the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) syllabus, which progresses through the Graded levels: Pre Primary, Primary, Grades 1-8, and through Vocational Graded levels:
Starting at the Grade 2 level, students must enroll in two ballet classes per week. For the Covid - 19 year we are having dancers at the Grade 2 level attend once class a week. Students are eligible for exams at the recommendation of their teacher.
The graded levels concentrate on the exploration of movement, musicality, with the development of technique, artistry and self-discipline. Emphasis is placed on proper posture and alignment, correct and safe technique, and a genuine sense of performance.
Many other dance forms as well as physical activities such as gymnastics and skating recommend ballet because of the inherent qualities that are developed. At Dance Steps ballet is recommended to all students (but not mandatory) either to be studied on its own or to enhance a dancers’ training in other genres.
To ensure the health and safety of our students, teachers and staff, Dance Steps has implemented Covid - 19 procedures to diminish risks associated with the virus. We will follow guidelines outlined by the Ontario government and consequently these procedures may change and evolve over time with the guidelines.
Here are a few of the measure that we are taking. Please see below for more information. Additionally, we have made a video for you to see our studio in action.
This structured ballet class is for young students just beginning in ballet. Same level as Ballet Basic 2.
Just as the toddler stage passes, this class is specifically designed for the milestone of 3 year olds.
Ballet Course is Offered by Performance School of Music and Dance.
All adult ballet participants train at the barre and in the centre, executing a series of classical ballet exercises designed to develop coordination, strength, proper posture, and musicality.
Once students enter grade 1 at school they proceed into 45 minute to 60 minute classes. More focus is placed on proper technique and execution. We continue to maintain age appropriate music and movement for all age levels.
