Children’s Division
Our goal is to have our young students develop creative movement skills, musicality, rhythm, coordination, expression, character, and confidence.
The Gelsey Kirkland Academy of Classical Ballet Children’s Program was created for aspiring dancers ages 3 – 11 who want to experience the joy that comes from dancing.
Our goal is to have our young students develop creative movement skills, musicality, rhythm, coordination, expression, character, and confidence. The classes foster a nurturing environment that enables each child to learn life skills and form a lifelong love of ballet and the arts.
Registration is for the year with pro-rated tuition for students beginning after the start. We also offer a free trial class for first time students. Register and make your first payment with a check to receive a custom Tutu.com Children’s Tutu.
