Have a little one that won’t stop dancing around? Have them join us in this 18 week PreBallet 1 class for 45 minutes each week! Geared for children ages 3-4, who have not taken ballet before, your little dance stars will learn coordination, musicality, collaboration and independence in this fun dance class. Children will learn basic ballet positioning and terminology. We are so excited to be an early part of any child’s introduction to dance!

We request that children wear a leotard, tights, and ballet slippers for all dance classes. Tutus and skirts are welcome as well. Boys are asked to wear black shorts or leggings, black or flesh toned ballet slippers (with or without socks) and a white or black t-shirt. Ballet attire and shoes can be purchased at SF Dance Gear in Hayes Valley (551 Hayes St.).

 

Pre Ballet 2 runs twice a week, on Tuesdays and Saturdays. When registering, please select one or the other; the classes may not be mixed and matched.

Thursdays, August 13 – December 17, 2026, from 5:15 – 6:00 pm
