Our Classes
NWB offers foundational ballet training in the style of Vagonova. Our classes are designed to support the dancer as a whole, encouraging strong technique so that dancers stay safe and may enjoy this artistic expression of dance their entire lives.
We offer a wide range of classes, from Pre-Ballet starting at age 3, to Classical Levels, to Adult Ballet and Elective Classes. You can read more about all of our classes and find our current class schedule below.
Pre-Ballet
Pre-Ballet levels are created to encourage gross motor skills, musicality, and coordination with an introduction to basic ballet terms and steps. To begin our Pre-Ballet levels, students must be 3 years old and potty trained by September 1st.
Classical Levels
Classical Levels develop technical skills as students progress through the levels. Our classical ballet levels are geared for students who wish to explore the art of ballet, perform in our productions, and ultimately dance en pointe.
Adult & Open Ballet
NWB offers open ballet classes, geared towards teens and adults who would like to explore the art of ballet in a recreational way. Open ballet classes are designed as a fun way to exercise in a safe and positive environment.
Recreational
The Recreational Ballet Track is geared for students who wish to explore the art of ballet in a more leisurely manner. The Recreational Ballet Track is also good for those students whose interests lie in other places (e.g., theater performers, ice skaters, etc.) and ballet is used as an enhancement of those other interests rather than the sole focus of the student.
Conservatory
Conservatory track classes are designed to train students in the art of ballet in a pre-professional, structured, and progressive sequence. It aims to prepare students for the rigors that a professional career entails. Conservatory is by audition only.
Enhancement & Electives
NWB offers a variety of enhancement and elective classes for our dancers. Each class is carefully selected to enhance the dancer’s experience, allowing them to stretch and grow in their art and practice.
