Young Men's Program
Report
Our Young Men's classes focus on the aspects of training that are specific for the male dancer. While many of the technical requirements in ballet are the same among boys and girls, there are also those that are different for a male dancer, particularly athleticism. Classes will include strength training, injury prevention, anatomy and Pilates, Dance History and French terminology.
