ENCHANTED GARDEN
BALLET FOR AGES 3 - 18 YEARS
Ballet builds the strength, alignment, flexibility, balance, and grace that many dancers carry into other styles. Our program follows the Russian Vaganova technique, with choreography set to contemporary music that appeals to dancers and audiences alike.
Pre-Ballet begins at age 3, barre work starts at age 6, and pointe work begins when a teacher determines a student is ready. By age 10, students are encouraged to take multiple Ballet classes per week. Dancers perform each year in our spring concert and in "The Enchanted Nutcracker."

I will never forget the giant smile on my daughter’s face as she emerged from her first ballet class at the Enchanted Garden. The teachers are extremely accessible and caring to both the students and the parents. The staff looks out for their dancers’ wellbeing, health, and happiness. The environment is professional, warm, fun, and magical. I am eternally grateful for all the opportunities afforded my daughters here.
