Professional quality dance productions with Ballet Long Island provide students with theater experience and the opportunity to refine their dance technique.

This class is a basic introduction to classical ballet for children. It includes preparatory exercises to develop coordination, while kindling the imagination of the child, ballet barre and basic ballet steps. Emphasis in this class will be placed on learning basic positions of the feet, head and arms (port de bras).
Little ballerinas will learn new ballet skills and concepts, and improve their balance, rhythm, and flexibility. A special class for the very young child. Basic dance technique, songs, and dances stressing locomotor movements, dress up and make believe. We will use stories, imagination games and props like scarves, shakers, ribbons and hoola hoops to encourage movement.
The Acting Musical Theater class is an exciting adventure. Each week students will learn to express themselves more easily, gain confidence, self-esteem, improve communication skills and develop poise. We will be doing relaxation and breathing exercises, voice work, theater games, improvisations, such as walking around "in character."
The Ballet Center offers a broad scholarship program for its students. To encourage and support our serious dance students, The Ballet Center offers significant reductions in tuition for those who qualify. The broad scope of this scholarship program is exclusive to The Ballet Center.
