Description

Open to 3 and 4 year old male and female children. Children must be fully toilet trained and must be willing to participate independently without a parent. This class is appropriate for beginners as well as children with previous experience in our preschool classes. Young children significantly benefit from the repetition of attending multiple sessions. It provides them with greater skill mastery and an advantage once they enter our Preparatory level classes.

Qualifications

Students must be either 3 or 4 years old by the first day of the enrolled session.

Tuition

Tuition is $40 for each four-day session. Tuition is non-refundable and non-transferable.

Drop-off and Pick-up

Parents should bring their child into the Project Ballet lobby and wait for class to begin. Please plan to arrive about five minutes early to change into ballet shoes and take off your coat, etc. A minute or two before class is scheduled to start, our staff will take attendance and have the children line-up in the lobby to head into the classroom. Once the children have left with their teacher to begin class, parents are free to leave or you may wait in our lobby for the duration of the class. Please make sure to return promptly at the end of class. Your child's teacher will bring them back out to the lobby when class is over. Please contact us if you and your child would like to schedule a time to come in during our normal business hours to tour our facility. We want to make sure that your child is comfortable attending class independently.

The last 15 minutes of Thursday's class will be a mini performance, open for observation by parents and siblings. Observation attendees will be able to video record and take photographs during class. We ask that you please limit observation to no more than 2 attendees per student.
