Dance can be a great activity for kids. If your child is interested in dance, one option is a ballet class or lesson. In Canada, these classes can be found in many cities, including Toronto, Mississauga, Etobicoke, Windsor, Guelph, Orangeville, Vancouver, and Montreal. While learning ballet is no small feat, it can be a nice summer or winter activity. Sometimes ballet is offered as part of a specialized ballet school, camp, or program. Other times it’s offered as one among other types of dance, such as ballroom, jazz, or hip hop. Find separated lists below.

What a ballet class has to offer

In a ballet class, your child will learn the basics of ballet. This may include both classical and modern ballet. They’ll learn ballet moves and positions, such as the plié, pirouette, grande jeté, and arabesque. They’ll also learn proper stretches and exercises. And they’ll be taught by a trained instructor, who may have professional dancing experience.

Whether your child is just starting out or has advanced skills, you should have no problem finding the right class. There are ballet classes for kids of many different ages and levels. This includes programs for beginners or those just starting out. It also includes higher-level classes and lessons, for those who are looking to learn more challenging ballet moves, positions, and choreography.
