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.).
Ballet, one of the most beautiful and graceful of all dance styles is strongly rooted in tradition. Ballet can be used as a basis for all dance styles as its techniques and discipline demand a high level of performance, athleticism and ability for both males and females.
Ballet classes is offered by ETUDES Dance Studio. Dancers will learn a ballet or a jazz dance. They will focus on ballet technique and fun jazz moves.
Students are required to wear a body suit or fitted top with spandex shorts, leggings or tights. Students are required to wear beige jazz/modern shoes with their hair in a pony tail or bun out of their face.
This class is for the serious student. Students will be placed in this class by the discretion of the teacher. Students must attend two Intermediate Foundation ballet classes plus one pre-pointe/pointe class per week.
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.
