Ballet provides a good, solid foundation for many of the other dance styles in the DAS Recreational program, and it’s Caelia’s personal favourite! We have four levels of recreational adult ballet: Beginner, Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced.

These classes each have a unique syllabus created by Caelia to suit the needs of the dancers, which loosely follows the curriculum of the Royal Academy of Dance. During the Training portion of the season (Sep to Dec).
Students will learn:
The Choreography phase (Jan to Jun) places less focus on technical exercises, but draws on the training from the first part of the year. Ballet develops strength, balance, flexibility, stamina, stage presence, memory, and cognitive skills, and promotes emotional and artistic expression. It also creates a solid foundation for any other discipline, which makes it a fantastic starting point for your journey into the world of dance.
Dance Alive Studios was created in the summer of 2017 to meet the changing needs of adult dancers in the Saskatoon community. Caelia Gardiner, the owner and Artistic Director of DAS, developed the adult dance program at Juliette’s Dance Centre from 2011 to 2017.
This program has become unique in the field – it provides aspiring adult dancers with progressive levels of focused training at their desired level. Recreational dance is the common stream, but more intense training opportunities are available upon request (group and solo competition, examination, teacher training, etc.).
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.
This class is focused on technique at the barre, down the floor, and in the centre. Ballet is the foundation of all dance styles.
Ballet is the foundation of all dance styles. Body awareness, technical training and coordination are stressed throughout the class, and students are taught correct terminology.
Our ballet teen classes provide a unique opportunity for teens and pre-teens who want to train in ballet but have limited or no experience in the discipline.
Through the Cecchetti Syllabus, students who take ballet classes build self-control, body awareness and self-discipline as they learn to master increasingly technical moves. An experienced ballet dancer will have the option to continue their training in pointe shoes.
