The CARE Conservatory of Ballet is a training school for students interested in pursuing classical ballet. Classes are based on the Italian Cecchetti syllabus and are augmented with strengthening classes and other forms of dance such as Jazz, Conditioning, Pilate's, and Ballroom.
The Conservatory is a program for those who value quality ballet training and artistic education through discipline and a positive approach to the challenges of classical dance. Classes emphasize technique, musicality, and creativity. Students receive individual attention and discover that the joy of studying classical ballet is learning to accept challenges, take risks, achieve personal goals, and improve day to day.
Children may begin study at the age of 4 in the creative movement/ pre ballet class which serves as an introduction to ballet. Regular ballet and other classes begin at age 6 and are offered through adult.
