the details

Ballet classes will give your child superior technique that will benefit all of their dance classes at Bloom Dance Company. We hold the highest regard for the training of our Ballet dancers. From beginner to advanced classes, students are formally trained while being taught the value of technique, discipline, and honouring tradition. As Ballet is the foundation of most dance training, we recommend that every student take Ballet classes to develop poise, good posture, proper body alignment, and graceful movement.

Dancers enrolled in Bloom’s Ballet program will work to perfect technique while developing coordination between the mind and body. Ballet requires dancers to channel their energy in a positive way, and is an excellent dance form for both male and female students alike.

All of our Ballet instructors have studied vigorously to ensure the next generation of dancers are given the knowledge and confidence to execute steps and perform to their greatest potential.
