Contemporary
Bayer Ballet Academy provides contemporary ballet training as a complement to our classical curriculum. Available for all levels of youth ballet.
Character
Traditional character dance taught by renowned faculty. This class is meant as a supplement to classical ballet training as it allows for a greater range of expression and diversity for students to grow and develop with.
Stretching
For any form of dance, strength and flexibility are important for moving comfortable and gracefully. Our specially developed stretching curriculum builds muscle, increases flexibility, and provides a foundation for many of the more difficult movements in ballet and contemporary.
Technique & Artistry
Students develop physically and artistically through a systematic program, based upon foundations of the Vaganova method.
The program which is comprised of three divisions, pre-ballet, youth (juniors and apprentice) and pre-professional, allows students to gradually progress through a well-rounded, healthy approach to learning the complex art of ballet. As students move through the program, excercises increase in complexity, gradually developing the core strength and conditioning, flexibility, and grace required for long term wellness.
With a solid technical foundation in place, dancers explore the art of performing through competitions and professionally staged performances. This is an opportunity to learn how to apply their technique to performance, while developing stage presence and experience the joy of sharing their art with the community.
