Adult Program

SLC Ballet offers opportunities for all adult dancers in a friendly, casual environment. Our flexible options include a comprehensive, progressive adult program and, space permitting, the option to take classes one at a time as your schedule allows. Students may begin in any level, and through our 6-week class formats, progress to more advanced levels.

Ballet Foundations

Unique to SLC Ballet, we have developed a sequence of classes to start your ballet journey.  Ballet 101, 102 and 103 classes will give you the basic ballet vocabulary and beginning technique skills in a structured, small class environment.  Ballet 101 covers the basics of barre, Ballet 102 introduces center work, and Ballet 103 puts it all together in a full class. With the completion of Ballet 103, many students are ready for Beginning Ballet.

Ballet 101: 6-week structured and progressive class, first class to begin ballet training. No experience necessary! Class covers barre technique. 1 hour per week, 6 weeks total. May repeat as necessary.

Ballet 102: 6-week structured and progressive class to continue the Ballet Foundations. Prerequisite: Ballet 101. Class covers center technique. 1.25 hours per week, 6 weeks total. May be repeated as needed.

Ballet 103: Final class in Ballet Foundations, covers barre and center combinations. Ideal for beginning students as a refresher course, or students who have completed Ballet 101 and 102. Class is often repeated as students prepare to enter Beginning Ballet. 1.5 hour per week, 6 weeks total.

Beginning Ballet

Our Beginning Ballet Program offers a structured and progressive curriculum to continue ballet training.  Students in these levels continue to develop more complex barre and center routines, and increased strength and flexibility.  Small classes and individualized attention help develop the full potential of each adult student.

Classes include Beginning Ballet I and Beginning Ballet II.  Students desiring to progress to an Intermediate Level and/or to begin pointe work should take 3 classes per week.

Beginning Ballet I: Beginning ballet for students who have completed Ballet 103 or have taken equivalent classes. Beginning I progresses to Beginning II within 6-12 months. 1.5 hour per week, 6 weeks total.

Beginning Ballet II: The core of our Beginning Ballet Program. Students should feel comfortable with the pace and content of Beginning Ballet I to progress to this class.

Intermediate/Advanced Ballet

Students with about 2 years of ballet experience are ready for the Intermediate Ballet Program. 1.5 hour per week, 6 weeks total. Our Intermediate and Advanced Ballet Program offers committed students progressively more difficult combinations and continued growth, strength and flexibility.  Students in these levels are able to begin or continue pointe work if desired.  Small classes and individualized attention help develop the full potential of each adult student.

Classes include Intermediate Ballet and Advanced Ballet.  Students desiring to begin or continue our Pointe Program should take 3 classes per week.

Pointe Program

Our Pointe Program provides training and performing opportunities both for those who have previous pointe experience and those who wish to begin pointe training.  Instructor approval is required for all classes in our Pointe Program.
