Classes, 5th Anniversary Season
The order of classes
A recital programme lists the running order so every family can find their dancer. This page does the same for the weekly classes: every style and level, from Mini and Preballet up to Pointe, grouped by family and marked with the studios that teach it.
Classes meet Monday to Friday, afternoons and evenings, at our Haslett studio (1640 Haslett Rd Ste 1) and at Okemos and Grand Ledge. New students can take a free trial class before they register, and the whole studio is Christ-centered, with every class held in the spirit of Psalm 149:3.
From the first plié to the pointe shoe
Each family below has its own page with the full story of how the class runs. The studio names on the right of every line are where that class is on the weekly schedule today. Call to confirm a slot before you plan around it, because Thursday classes shift between the Nutcracker season (September to December) and the spring season (January to May).
Ballet and pointe
Read the ballet and pointe pageBallet is the spine of the studio. Dancers start in Preballet, move through Ballet 1 to Ballet 5, and step onto pointe through Ballet 3 Pre-Pointe. Ballet 4 meets for 90 minutes, twice a week, so call for its current slot.
