Classical ballet training is characterized by the following elements: 

• graceful, flowing movements
• classical form: turn-out and pointe work
• balance and symmetry
• ethereal quality
• emphasis on story ballets and narrative
• elaborate sets and costumes

At Twin Cities School of Dance we focus on the fundamental techniques, positions, musicality and etiquette. We offer a range of ballet training starting at 2 years old. For our more serious ballet dancers and those intended to pursue a career in dance after high school, we offer Twin Cities Ballet Company whose spots are filled through auditions held each spring. 

Ballet dancers are expected to wear a leotard, tights and ballet slippers and hair in a neat bun for each class.
