Ballet

FLBA teaches primarily a Vaganova syllabus, with influences of Royal Ballet (French method) and Cecchetti.

Being a ballet-forward studio, we offer multiple ballet classes at varying levels.

Some of our other disciplines include ballet as a requirement. This is because we believe the core skills a dancer obtains in ballet are beneficial to all other dance styles.

Dancers may take up to 4 ballet classes each week.

Pointe dancers are required to take 3 ballet classes each week.

*FLBA faculty will place dancers in the correct level based on their age, experience, skill level and desired number of classes each week.

Ballet Dress Code:

For Female Ballet Students:

•Solid colored leotard
•Pink tights
•Ballet slippers

For Male Ballet students:

•White shirt
•Black pants
•Black or white ballet slippers

Proper dance attire is important in enhancing a productive learning environment in dance class. Students feel more like dancers, and are less distracted, when they are dressed appropriately. Hair must be pulled back in a bun– no ponytails. Short hair must be held back off the face with a barrette.
Please adhere to the dress code as described. Students should enter the studio in their dancewear. No street clothes or shoes are allowed in the studio. Only proper dance warm-ups (leg-warmers, dance sweaters, etc.) should be worn. No jewelry for class except post earrings, please.
