Ballet is a classic form of dance, yet our program focuses less on classical style and more on teaching the art in a relaxed and enjoyable manner. We incorporate floor work as well as bar exercises. Ballet increases flexibility and grace, and helps students to develop body awareness.
Lyrical dance is a more modern style of ballet, which is interpretive in form. Choreographed to contemporary Christian music, our lyrical dance provides a medium to express faith through graceful ballet-based movements.

Ballet One students can begin instruction as early as age 4. Our classes at this age focus the five ballet positions, flexibility, and basic ballet footwork. Leaps and jumps are always a favorite part of class at this age. Our intent is not to produce prima ballerinas, but to instill a love for this classic dance.

| In Ballet Two we accept both beginner and experienced school-aged dancers, grouping our students in classes by age and skill level. Ballet Two utilizes bar exercises to improve flexibility, with an increased concentration on floor work, leaps, and jumps.

Some of our more advanced students may choose to pursue the art of Pointe. Pointe requires several years of ballet as a prerequisite and also requires proper body size and body maturity. This style of dance calls for superior leg and ankle strength, as well as a commitment to a more intense practice schedule. Please contact us at info@peggyannececejean.com for more information.

| Our Lyrical program is designed for students in fourth grade and older, with the exception of younger students with prior ballet experience. Lyrical focuses on interpreting music through body movement and dance, while focusing on both flexibility and grace.
