Early Childhood Program
Ages 4-5
Please see below for a schedule of locations and classes.
This program offers a unique opportunity for the very young dancer to begin ballet within a creative and enjoyable yet structured class. Teaching artists introduce sequential training with solidly crafted choreography, developing an understanding of the role of music as well as interpersonal skills such as teamwork and discipline. All students will be featured in costumed culminating performances as part of NOBA’s Neighborhood Concert Series!
- Start and end dates vary per location/class.
- No prior dance experience is necessary. Classes are grouped by age.
- Youth must be the minimum age for each class by September 1, 2025.
- Spaces are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
- All classes are tuition-free. A $60.00 registration fee for the 2026-27 school year is due at the time of registration per student, per location and type of class. Financial need-based scholarships for youth registration fees are available through an application process.
