Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced
Our boys’ ballet classes assist in developing young boys’ agility, flexibility, strength, and physical self-control. Students also work on self-discipline, focusing on goals, and cooperation with other students.
Boys ages 3 and 4 are welcome to begin in our Creative Movement classes.
Boys ages 5 and 6 are welcome to join Pre-Ballet classes.
Boys begin working independently from the girls around age 7 or 8, where they are invited to take our Boys Beginner class.
If they so choose, we welcome boys to take regular technique classes with girls during their time at MDSB. Intermediate/Advanced teen boys, for example, often find Level 4 a good place to begin working more at the barre learning to hone their technique.
Families may contact administration to find the best classes to attend for their boy’s level.
