What You Learn in Pre-Ballet Classes

Aug 19, 2021 | Ballet

As a parent, you want nothing more than to see your child succeed in something you find they truly enjoy. When you
find that they have an interest in dancing, it can bring forth quite an exciting feeling. It’s natural as a parent to help
them explore this newfound love. Ballet is often for dancers ages eight and up. However, you can start letting your
child train as early as three years old through CPYB’s Creative Movement and Pre-Ballet classes offered in our
Children’s Division. These lessons can help you gauge how determined your child is at learning how to dance by
giving them the right resources.

If you’re curious as to how CPYB’s Creative Movement and Pre-Ballet Classes can help in preparing your child and
what they will learn in class, here’s a quick glimpse.

They’ll Learn the Basics

Enrolling your child in a serious ballet class can make them feel like they are in foreign territory and out of place.
Starting early with a ballet class for beginners, will help your child feel at ease as they start to learn the basics of
ballet. This includes alignment, as well as how to use the barre. Your child will be introduced to some of the most
fundamental ballet positions. It is here that a new dancer can begin to find their passion for ballet at an early age.

Get Them Moving in Classes

If a child hopes to pursue ballet, getting them started early with classes makes good sense. Children’s bodies can
adapt and even enjoy the constant movement and structure of regular classes. This physical development will be key
to their future as ballet dancers. Plus, the lessons can help boost their health in terms of muscle strength and
endurance.

Prepares Their Creativity

Creative Movement and Pre-Ballet lessons empower children to experiment and explore what kind of movements
they can achieve. They’re encouraged to use their imagination by acting out scenes and fairytales with
accompanying music and it produces a great environment to cultivate your child’s creativity.

Allows Them to Learn Discipline

In Creative Movement and Pre-Ballet, students learn structure and etiquette that will allow them to grow and improve
in class. Having a foundation of discipline can be great training for other endeavors that your child may encounter as
they get older.

Encourages Them to Socialize

As children learn how to dance, they can also learn how to socialize and make new friends. It’s beneficial to form
those communication skills early – giving them a head start in learning how to interact well with others.

Enroll Your Child in CPYB’s Creative Movement or Pre-Ballet Class

Creative Movement and Pre-Ballet offer many benefits and will allow your child to establish a foundation to become
a dancer. They provide excellent physical exercise and help young students develop mental stamina and strength as
well.
