BALLET BASICS
Classes are geared towards students with no to very limited previous ballet experience. However dancers of any level are welcome to attend to work on their ballet basics. This class is perfect for those wanting to build their fundamental vocabulary while exploring steps, positions, and concepts that form the foundation of more advanced technique. Advance registration is strongly suggested. Drop in with single class registration is allowed.
BEGINNING/INTERMEDIATE BALLET
Classes are geared towards students who have previous ballet experience and are comfortable with foundational ballet vocabulary. While all dancers are welcome to attend, the Beg/Int level may feel too fast paced for those with less than 2 years of previous experience. Advance registration is strongly suggested. Single class registration is allowed.
Schedule: Classes continue throughout the year, with some breaks for holidays and events. Please check back here for updates regarding closures. No classes will be held during CBA's Spring Break, April 3-9, 2023.
COVID Policies: Masks are currently optional for the Adult Division. Please continue to follow CDC guidance for close contacts and positive COVID cases, including wearing a mask after close contact or during days 6-10 after a positive test. Do not attend class if you are feeling unwell. COVID policies are subject to change.
Dress Code: Dancers should wear comfortable clothing that is easy to move in and that is form fitting enough for proper body alignment. Ballet shoes are recommended for ballet classes.
Age Requirement: Classes are open to those ages 18 and up. Exceptions may be made for high school age students with permission from CBA.
COST
Single Class Rate: $16
Northwestern Student Single Class Rate: $13 (must show valid student ID)
