Complementary Program
The Complementary Program classes are designed for new and continuing students wishing to create a more dynamic class schedule or supplement their ballet training with elective classes. Complementary Program classes are also open to non-Classical Ballet Program students wishing to explore other styles of movement. Our instructors are qualified to assess a student’s level in class and to make appropriate recommendations upon request. Students enrolled in the Classical Ballet Program or one Complementary Program class will receive a 50% tuition discount on any additional Complementary Program class(es). Classes are available for ages 6 – 18. Students are placed in class levels according to their age and level of dance experience. Classes are held at the St. Matthews and Downtown Studios.
