Children's Ballet---Levels I-IV
Academic ballet taught in a loving and correct manner. Each level connotes a level of attainment and a physical and intellectual grasp on the material being taught.

Progress in dance is a very individual matter and cannot be rushed. Ballet technique takes many years to fully master. A student may be assigned to the same level for more than one year.

Ballet---Levels V-VIII
A continuation of the syllabus for ages 13 years to adult.
Pointe work is introduced for students as they are technically ready for it.

Pointe
Separate Beginning, Intermediate and Advanced
Pointe Classes are offered each week for ballet students who are technically ready. Proper Pointe Instruction is vital to protect the dancers feet, legs and back in later years.

Kids Beginning Jazz
Children 7-10 years of age will enjoy this fun Beginning Jazz dance class. Students need not be taking our ballet curriculum to participate in this course.

Latin Jazz
This exciting new jazz form is offered to students 12 years and older. Latin Jazz is the fusion of Latin motion and rhythm, utilizing a jazz foundation in an Afro-Cuban/Latin dance style with a Salsa/Mambo flavor. Latin Jazz has a unique emphasis is elegance, style, precision and beauty.

Children's Summer Dance Camp
A fun and stimulating event for children ages 4.5 years and older, and intermediate dancers 13 years and up. The nationally recognized syllabus incorporates lessons on anatomy, health, nutrition, dance history, dance terminology and musical structure along with a daily dance class.

Photo taken during barre exercise portion of ballet class at Bellingham's Nancy Whyte School of Ballet.
Ballet exercises at the barre are an essential portion of each ballet class. The barre exercises increase muscular strength, flexibility, speed and help attain balance, control and proper alignment.
level 2 childrens ballet in centre
Level II childrens ballet dancers step away from the barre to do some centre work halfway through their class. The spacious studio gives them lots of room to learn leaps and turns. The quality floor, designed and built specifically for dancing, will protect their young legs and ankles.
