Set Your Dance Technique

If you're interested in taking dance classes, there’s one style that can help build and create a strong technical base for your dance career: ballet. Although we realize that ballet is not the foundation for all styles of dance there are proven attributes that can be carried into a variety of other genres across the board. Ballet can aid your dancer with musicality, technique, balance, strength, grace and so much more.

At PADA our staff teaches a variety of ballet techniques to keep our dancers well-rounded. Vaganova, Balanchine, Cecchetti, RAB, Progressive Ballet Technique and Contemporary Ballet. It is important for our dancers to learn all styles of ballet in order to remain coachable.

Preserving Art Through Ballet

Ballet is a classical dance form characterized by grace, precision, and formalized movements. Rooted in the Italian Renaissance and further developed in France and Russia, ballet combines technical proficiency with expressive artistry. Fundamental elements of ballet include positions and movements such as pliés, tendus, dégagés, and arabesques, which serve as the foundation for more complex steps and choreography. The discipline of ballet emphasizes proper alignment, turnout, and fluidity of motion, requiring strength, flexibility, and control.

Classes will typically incorporate barre work, center practice, and across-the-floor exercises to develop technical skills and musicality.

Answering Common Ballet Questions

Before enrolling you or your child in ballet classes, you may have a few questions. Our trained dancers and instructors are here to answer any questions you may have. Information about some of the most common inquiries we receive is provided below.

When Should My Child Start Ballet?

Some children start ballet as young as 3 years old! However, there’s no right or wrong time to enroll your child in ballet classes. If you believe your child is mentally prepared and excited to begin classes, then we welcome them to our studio. We offer ballet classes Phoenixville, PA dancers who are just getting started can enjoy.

Are There Health Benefits to Ballet?

Yes, of course! Ballet is a full-body workout. Your child will build muscle, coordination skills, and stamina while increasing their cardiovascular endurance. You’ll also find that your child has a better posture than other kids their age!

How Can I Help My Child Do Their Best?

The best way to enable your child’s success is by making sure they’re at class on time and dressed in appropriate ballet attire, including the proper shoes, tights, and leotards. You should also let us know about any physical, mental, or emotional troubles your child might have that could affect their learning. As long as you do that, and continue to encourage your child to do their best, they’ll be set up for success!
