The fall season brings a familiar rhythm to our schedule: packing lunches, attending meetings, and settling into back-to-school routines. But maybe it’s time to add a new rhythm, with music, creativity, and movement! The Alberta Ballet has classes for everyone, from the tiniest dancer enthralled with their tutu to teens or adults wanting a new challenge. Alberta Ballet is the place to learn movement, from beginners to experienced dancers!
Alberta Ballet was founded in 1966 in Edmonton by Ruth Carse and Muriel Taylor. Today, it is a holistic ecosystem: a major professional performing arts company with an integrated and internationally renowned ballet training institution. But no matter your age or level, Alberta Ballet offers the opportunity to develop your skills in a warm, positive environment, taught by renowned and highly experienced instructors.
Alberta Ballet Classes
Alberta Ballet offers recreational and dedicated dance programs for all ages and experience levels. From preschool to adult, beginner to advanced, you receive quality dance training in active, engaging classes. Plus, live music is at the heart of every class. A dedicated pianist allows teachers to fully engage with their students, just like the professional company dancers. There’s nothing like dancing to live music!
Whether your child is taking their first movement class or adding ballet to supplement other activities, classes at Alberta Ballet let preschoolers and kids explore the fundamentals of ballet in fun and engaging ways. It’s a lively activity that might be the first step towards a lifelong love for dance!
Alberta Ballet offers full-year or sessional programs, with recreational fall classes running from September to January. Recreational classes require no previous experience, making it the perfect time for kids to try ballet.
Preschool Classes
Young dancers from 3 – 5 years old can experience the joy of movement and music at a weekly preschool ballet class. Exploring creative movement and music, children develop coordination and an understanding of rhythm and musicality. The dedicated and experienced teachers promote teamwork and a structured routine while nurturing the students’ creativity and building self-esteem and confidence. These classes inspire the youngest dancers in a fun and engaging environment.
Children’s Classes
Students from 6 – 11 years can attend classes exploring movement and music while learning the fundamentals of dance. Dancers will develop poise, self-discipline, and musicality. They will build confidence in a safe and nurturing environment, and this program complements other activities or sports, perfect for those looking to enhance their posture, balance, and flexibility.
Teen Classes
Teen classes, for those ages 12 – 17, teach ballet technique, explore music appreciation, and develop artistic expression. Recreation programs are perfect for teens looking to enhance their posture, balance, and flexibility. Or they’ll just have fun trying something new! Programs for more advanced dancers are also available. Plus, adults can join the fun with all levels of adult classes, too!
Plan for fall and nurture your child’s love for movement. Register today for dance and creative growth at Alberta Ballet and watch your little dancers flourish this fall. Don’t miss out — it’s time to dance!
