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.
Class consists of barre development work, centre floor exercises, and all aspects of ballet technique. Dancers will be taught strength, balance, discipline and grace along with learning a routine for competition.
Classes range from 30 minutes to 75 minutes. Students should wear a bodysuit and tights. Ballet skirts and shorts will be permitted. Pointe shoes required.
Pointe starts with pre-ballet, which is an introduction to ballet. Pointe work is available to students who show the physical strength needed, while meeting proper age requirements to safely execute this style of dance.
Ballet classes are offered by The Dance Theatre Performing Arts. The basis of all dance arts, this course will use the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) syllabus to develop strong technique while exploring the various styles of classical, character and contemporary ballet.
Ballet is a classical dance form demanding grace and precision. Ballet is the key ingredient of a dancer’s training. It increases body awareness, posture, strength and balance. It also teaches the dancer focus, discipline and determination.
