Parent Info

In the Claras level, the children will learn the Royal Academy of Dance Pre-Primary exercises and technique, while in the Odettes level they will learn the Primary exercises and technique.

During the school year, we have Winter Wonderland Camps, Springtime Ballerina Camps, and also our School’s Out Camps which are all daily half-day camps.

Over the Summer, we have week-long half-day camps.

Camps are 9:00-12:00 or 12:00-3:00, but you can sign up for both back-to-back for a full day experience.

Our camps include one of our classes, along with snack time, crafts and games.

For morning camps (9:00-12:00), we only have a snack time where we provide goldfish. The afternoon camp (12:00-3:00) has a lunch time right at the beginning of the camp where we ask parents to pack a lunch that they will eat first thing with other afternoon campers and our full-day campers too. A different snack can be brought for the morning camp, we just ask that no outside snacks or lunches contain nuts.

Also, we do not have a naptime built into either morning or afternoon camps should that be a need for your ballerina.

Girls should wear pink or lavender leotards and pink ballet shoes. They may wear either pink tights or thin pink or white socks. Hair should be pulled neatly away from the face, preferably in a bun.

Boys should wear a white t-shirt along with black jazz pants, leggings, bike shorts, or tights, and white socks with black ballet shoes.

Personal items should be left with each student’s adult. Jewelry should not be worn during classes.

If you are looking for attire for class, please feel free to look at these suggested items at discountdance.com through this link: https://bit.ly/130482BP and by using our teacher code: 130482.

If you are buying new shoes this session, we recommend purchasing shoes without bows as little dancers are often upset by bows that end up untied. An example can be seen in the Discount Dance link above. I find leather shoes fit true to size (consider a half size up for room for growth), and that canvas shoes run small (consider a full size up from street shoe sizes).

At this time, we do not offer make-up classes. Please see our Student Absences Policy below that can be found in our Welcome Week information sheet among our other policies:

Student Absences: Please let the office know when your dancer is going to be absent by emailing isabelle@balletpetite.com. Miss Isabelle and your teacher care about how your dancer is doing and their wellbeing. It assists with understanding their progress in class and any adjustments that would be helpful. Classmates become friends and form bonds in each class, and the training development is unique to their class. In order for the class to blossom and grow with consistency, make-ups are no longer available during the session. Thank you very much!

Yes, we do! We allow one free trial class per student for our new students should they be unsure about starting dance classes with us. However, priority will be given to full enrollments over trials. Please sign up for trial classes on the registration portal. We know that they will love it!

We will have a processional lineup at the door, dancers need to have their ballet shoes on and hair up, an optional labeled water bottle, and all outside or pedestrian clothes will stay outside of the dance room with their caregiver.

Miss Isabelle has been fully vaccinated for those of you that are curious.

This depends upon location, please ask your teacher if you can use the playground at the location.
