Our Ballet Program at ArtLab J nurtures dancers from their very first plié to polished performances. Designed for ages 3 through teens, our classes focus on developing strong technique, creative expression, and confidence in a supportive, age-appropriate environment.

• Ages 3–4: Creative Ballet – A playful introduction to ballet through music, movement, and imagination. We build coordination, rhythm, and a love for dance in a fun, nurturing space.

• Ages 5–7: Foundation Ballet – Students begin learning classical ballet technique with an emphasis on posture, balance, and expressive movement, while continuing to build confidence and joy in dance.

• Ages 8–Teens: Level-Based Ballet Training – For older students, we offer structured ballet levels focusing on technical growth, artistry, and discipline. Classes include barre, center work, and across-the-floor combinations, with opportunities for performance and advancement.
