Ballet is the foundation of all dance training, and at Dance.tech our ballet program emphasizes proper technique, strength, alignment, musicality, and artistry. This style gives dancers the structure and discipline needed to grow confidently through each level.

Our program focuses on building strong, educated dancers through:

  • Clean foundational technique

  • Safe and progressive skill development

  • Attention to posture, turnout, core engagement, and flexibility

  • Musical awareness and expressive movement

No matter their level, dancers develop the discipline, coordination, and confidence that support success in all other genres.

What Dancers Will Learn

Ballet classes at Dance.tech include technique work at the barre, in the center, and across the floor, focusing on placement, alignment, and execution of classical vocabulary.

Dancers explore:

  • Barre exercises to strengthen and prepare the body

  • Center work to develop balance, musicality, and control

  • Across-the-floor progressions that build coordination and traveling skills

  • Combinations that increase stamina, artistry, and performance quality

These progressions support long-term growth, allowing dancers to move safely and confidently from level to level.

Who Ballet Is For

Ballet is recommended for dancers in Levels 1–6 and is required for dancers in higher levels pursuing advanced technique and performance opportunities.

Ballet is ideal for dancers who want to:

  • Strengthen technique for all genres

  • Improve posture, flexibility, and control

  • Build discipline and body awareness

  • Prepare for Pointe or advanced technical work

Dress Code for Ballet

Ballet dancers follow a studio-wide dress code that supports clarity of movement, safety, and consistency in training.

The Ballet dress code includes:

  • Leotard

  • Pink tights (transition or footed)

  • Pink ballet shoes (leather, full sole or split sole depending on level)

  • Hair secured neatly away from the face

Optional: Ballet skirts, warm-ups, and layering pieces may be used when permitted by the instructor.

Why Ballet Matters

  • Improve turnout and placement

  • Strengthen ankles, feet, and core

  • Build musicality and artistry

  • Develop poise and confidence
