CLASSICAL BALLET PROGRAM
The Classical Ballet Program is dedicated to excellence and the highest quality of ballet. It provides classical ballet training and empowers students to develop and use their skills both in the studio and in their communities.
We strongly encourage all students above age 8 who have at least one year of previous ballet experience to enroll in our Classical Ballet Program.
Classical students take two ballet classes weekly in Foundation, Intermediate, or Advanced.
Students in the Classical Program are placed in one class at their "mastery" level, where the student feels in control of their technique and can refine their basic foundational technique. The second class students are placed in is at their "challenge" level, where the student will be pushed beyond their comfort level and challenged by new steps and combinations.
​
Placement in classes is determined by TCCD's instructors and the Executive Director. All families enrolled with students in more than one class (Classical Ballet or otherwise) receive an automatic 15% multi-class discount. Tuition assistance may also be available.
Please contact us for more information.
