Les entrechats
This class is aimed at children aged 7 to 10 who have already taken the Les Pirouetteuses class, who have already taken dance lessons or who want to start in ballet. This elementary ballet class incorporates the basic movements of ballet, plies, tendus, ronds de jambe and light stretches, always from our playful and non-competitive perspective. We continue our work in the center, with the preparation of pirouettes, diagonals and big jumps. We work on memorization, musicality and technique.

Ballet outfit of your choice (but leather ballet shoes required – please identify them! They all look the same!)
Brand new! we are now offering registration for the season for our regulars who come to the same class every week. In order to keep the group more stable and improve the quality of teaching, we invite you to register for the season (and save money!) On the other hand, it’s a little less flexible: you choose a class and return to the same one every week, for the duration of the season. We do not do exchanges, returns or refunds: That’s why the price is low!
Valid for the season purchased, in the same class each week and for the chosen studio. No return, exchange or refund possible.
With class cards, maximum flexibility awaits you. In fact, these cards do not expire and are valid for all children’s classes in the chosen studio. In other words, you can come every other week, do 8 weeks in summer and 4 in winter, in short, total freedom!
Les cartes de 6 et 12 classes pour enfants ne sont pas remboursables, mais n’expirent jamais et peuvent être utilisées pour toutes les classes pour enfants du studio choisi.
It’s a little complicated, call us or stop by the studio to set things up !
Classical ballet in its final form is not appropriate for children under 7 years old. It can create joint problems, growth problems, injuries and overwhelm children’s ability to concentrate. This is why we do pre-ballet (which is real ballet!) to learn what matters most: rhythm, musicality, movement, directions, the body in space, textures, work in a group, memory, proprioception… It may not look like Swan Lake and it may seem simplistic at times, but trust us: it’s the right path to develop a beautiful passion instead knee problems 🙂 PS: We are always happy to discuss our lesson plans, ask us for more details about our games and exercises!
We know that all parents like to see their little one at work and we understand 100%, but the answer is no. Apart from parent-child lessons, we ask parents to leave the studio quickly when their child arrives/not to squish their faces in the windows/not to block everyone’s passage in the door frame. This allows the instructor and assistant to do their work, and the little ones to concentrate. A bit like daycare or school! A recital in the form of an open class is also planned three times a year.
Each person who attends classes at the studio must have their own class card. So for two children, two class cards. That being said, we offer a $10 discount for references, so each child benefits from a discount on their lessons, ask us at reception!
Make sure you register the child under their own name, not yours!
Check that their age is correctly indicated in their account. Without a date of birth, the system will not allow children to register for classes.
Make sure you are choosing the correct age group.
Book classes on the computer rather than on the app!
