Spring Semester 2023
Our program’s placements are determined by technique, physical development, current age development, and experience with our curriculum. While age is a consideration for placement, our highly experienced and quality-educated faculty place students where they will be most successful in dance with physical, emotional, and social health at the highest priority. We are not a competitively driven environment. We are a quality instruction and appropriately developed, driven environment. We require new students ages 8 and older and students that are returning after taking time off, to complete an evaluation with one of our staff members before enrolling in our Elementary, Intermediate, or Pre-Professional levels. You can contact Julie at enrollment@bluegrassyouthballet.org for more information.

Primary Levels

Creative Movement (Pre-School Ballet for ages 3 -5)
This 45-minute class meets once a week and captures the joy of dancing in the students.

Pre-Ballet (Primary School-Aged Ballet for ages 5 – 8)
Pre-Ballet classes are one hour long and meet once a week. The class more closely follows the structure of a ballet technique class, but still allows for use of the students’ imaginations.

Students will become familiar with the use of the ballet barre as well as ballet terminology, body placement, class etiquette, and musicality. $290 per semester

Elementary Levels

Our Elementary Division consists of three levels and is the foundation for training and developing skills and strengths to prepare students for Intermediate levels and pointe work. Some new students with limited experience are placed in our beginner levels in order to learn the foundations necessary to develop their training and move their way up. We individualize students’ training so that it meets their needs and helps them develop as dancers in a safe way and with the highest quality training.
