Thank you for choosing one of the best ballet schools for classical dance in the state of Colorado. The dance training you receive at LDTA is so much more than a simple extracurricular activity.
Classical dance training through our Ballet Program is a methodical, graded process that requires a high level of commitment from parents/guardians and students. It also requires self-discipline rarely matched by any other endeavor. Students become an active partner in the process, developing a respect for the classical dance art form.
The Ballet Program starts in third grade for most students and follows a progression of levels:
Intermediate Ballet I (age 8+)
Intermediate Ballet II (age 10+)
Intermediate Ballet III (age 11+)
Advanced Ballet I (age 11+)
Advanced Ballet II (age 12+)
Advanced Ballet III & Pre-Collegiate Ballet Intensive Program (age 13+)
In addition to the Ballet Program, LDTA offers a Choreograph Your Own Program. Aerial, Afro-Pop, Bollywood, and Modern are being offered in addition to ballet during the 2021-22 academic session! We’d love to talk to you more about our programs.
