Classes
Youth Open Division
The Youth Open Division classes are designed for new and continuing students wishing to create a more dynamic class schedule or supplement their ballet training with elective classes. Youth Open ballet technique classes offer quality training at an Elementary or Intermediate level of study with a more accommodating schedule. Our instructors are qualified to assess a student’s level in class and to make appropriate recommendations upon request. Students enrolled in one class receive a 50% tuition discount on any additional Youth Open Division class(es).
