The syllabus in the Children's Division has been specifically created for the youngest students at the Academy. The creativity, artistic imagination, education and experience of our professional staff have produced an exciting program that lays a strong foundation for entrance into the Lower Division of the Academy.
The three levels in our Children's Division are based on age†:
- Pre-Ballet 1 (ages 3-4)
- Pre-Ballet 2 (age 5)
- Pre-Ballet 3 (age 6)
- † Ages for pre-ballet classes are parameters by which we place the children. The teacher ultimately decides which class is best for each child. Children may be moved to a different class if it is deemed in the child's best interest.
