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 covers 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.
Beginning Ballet Program
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.
Intermediate/Advanced Ballet Program
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 I, Intermediate Ballet II, 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.
Current class – Pointe Foundations
Level: Pre-Pointe and Beginning Pointe
This class will build a solid foundation through both pointe specific strength and conditioning as well as an introduction to basic pointe technique concepts. A focus on increased foot, ankle, and core strength will allow pre-pointe students to transition confidently to pointe when ready, while current pointe students will work to reinforce correct technique and placement to allow for safe progression into more advanced pointe work.
