Ballet is the foundation of all dance styles. At 1133 Dance Project, we teach classical ballet technique in a structured yet encouraging environment — developing posture, alignment, flexibility, and strength. Whether your dancer is just beginning or refining their technique, ballet builds the body and discipline that carries into every other style.

Our youngest dancers explore the foundations of ballet through creative movement, imagination, and play. Classes focus on listening skills, body awareness, and learning to love being in the studio — no experience required, just a love of moving.
Intro to ballet introduces foundational barre work, center combinations, and classical terminology. Students develop posture, coordination, and musicality in a structured, encouraging environment that makes every class feel like an achievement.
Beginning and intermediate ballet deepens technical training with more complex barre sequences, center work, and across-the-floor combinations. Students refine alignment, build strength, and begin developing the artistry that makes a dancer truly stand out.
Intermediate and advanced ballet is for dedicated dancers ready to train with discipline and depth. Classes include rigorous barre work, center exercises, and pointe preparation. Students learn to approach ballet as a serious art form and a lifelong physical practice.
Beginning Adult Ballet is open to dancers 18 and older who are stepping onto the dance floor for the first time or returning to the barre after years away. Whether you've always wanted to try ballet or you danced as a child and are ready to reconnect with it, this class meets you exactly where you are. No experience necessary, no pressure, no judgment. Just beautiful movement, great music, and a deeper appreciation for one of the most elegant art forms in the world.
