School
Ballet Pre-Pointe
Ages 12-14
For students in Ballet 5, focus is on strengthening and conditioning the body to prepare for the demands of pointe work. 2 other ballet classes are required to participate in Pointe.
Ballet is the basis for all dance taught at Youth Ballet. We believe that a good education in ballet can benefit dancers in all forms of dance. Our Pre-Ballet Program starts at age 5 and includes both creative and technical elements. Our ballet program is based on a combination of methods and syllabi, including the Royal Academy of Dance Syllabus. The curriculum is developmentally sound, and adaptable to various levels of ability.
Requirements: Must take a least 2 other ballet classes in order to register for this class

Class Policies
Maintaining regular attendance is key to the success of a student's experience at Youth Ballet Saskatchewan.
Youth Ballet of Saskatchewan is a safe and happy environment for learning dance. Teamwork is very important and dancers are expected to treat each other and their instructors with kindness and respect in and out of the studio.
Parents and Guardians have a vital role to play in the enjoyment and learning that their children experience during classes and the year–end recital at the Youth Ballet of Saskatchewan (Youth Ballet).
