Pre-Ballet Division Summer Classes (Ages 6-7)

About the Program

The curriculum of the Pre-Ballet Division is designed to be a bridge between the content and feel of the Young Children’s Division and the more traditional classical ballet format of the Elementary Division. We introduce more ballet components as we progress from 6 to 7-year-old classes and gently prepare students for Level 1 when they begin the progressive syllabus of the Elementary Division.

Pre-Ballet 6 is open to children who have turned 6 by June 1, 2025.

Pre-Ballet 7 is open to children who have turned 7 by June 1, 2025.

Our Pre-Ballet Division classes are offered at two Austin locations. The curriculum, faculty, and dress code requirements are identical at all locations.

WHY TRAIN AT BALLET AUSTIN ACADEMY

Our Pre-Ballet program serves as a foundation for formal ballet training, introducing young dancers to music, movement, and creativity in a structured, engaging environment.

  • The Pre-Ballet syllabus is introduced at a stage when fine and gross motor skills are becoming more refined.
  • Students explore basic shapes, positions, postures, and traditions of classical ballet.
  • The curriculum enhances both cognitive and physical development, supporting coordination, discipline, and self-expression.

Through a carefully designed progression, students build confidence, develop social skills through group interaction, and cultivate a love for dance that will prepare them for future ballet training.
