Ballet Program
Dancers Unite believes in dancers receiving proper classical ballet training. We strive to teach students correct body placement. Ballet is the foundation of all dance forms, which is why we require it for anyone in the Dance Competition Company who competes in jazz and lyrical. Students taking any dance course at Dancers Unite are encouraged to take ballet; however, we do not make it a requirement.
Because of the importance of ballet, ballet classes have a more serious tone. These classes have a stricter dress requirement as outlined in the following:
 |
Ages 2 to 7 – Any Ballet Combo Class (ex. Ballet/Tap)
Ages 8 & Up - All Ballet Classes
|
In class, students can wear any brand/style/color ballet shoe.
Our goal is to not injure dancers by allowing them to dance en pointe too soon. Instead, we will work with dancers to get them ready for pointe lessons. Therefore, students wishing to dance en pointe will need to take a pointe evaluation first. For the evaluation, students will wear ballet shoes. The instructor will evaluate the student and upon teacher approval the student will be able to move into the pointe class; otherwise, the student will need to take a pre-pointe class or private lessons to prepare for taking the pointe class.
So if you wish to take pointe, then you will need to contact the studio at info@dancersunite.net or 704-846-2985 to schedule an evaluation.
