The Ballet Barre, Performing Arts School

In these unprecedented times, we're proud to say that The Ballet Barre has remained committed to providing quality dance education while prioritizing the health and safety of our students and faculty. As we navigate through the challenges of the current situation, we're excited to announce that we'll be offering a hybrid approach for the new dance year, with both in-studio and virtual classes available for students.

Our top priority is to ensure everyone's health and safety, while also creating an engaging and interactive learning environment. We're confident in the plan we have created, and in our ability to adapt if our situation changes. Our faculty is unrivaled in Sussex County, and we're dedicated to continuing to provide the highest quality training that we're known for, even in the face of adversity.

SAFELY Back to Dance

We're thrilled to be able to offer in-studio classes to as many students as allowed by law. Classes will also be streamed via Zoom for anyone who is more comfortable dancing from home, or if we max out our class size limit. Either way, we're committed to providing the same level of training and engagement that our students have come to expect from us.

We encourage everyone to follow us on Facebook and Instagram for the most up-to-date information, and we're always available to answer any questions you may have. Together, we can dance through these challenging times!

3-2-1 FUN! Drop-in Classes

In addition to our regular classes, we also offer 3-2-1 FUN! drop-in classes for students aged 6 months to 3 years old. These classes are designed specifically for our youngest students and don't require any registration or monthly tuition.

During these classes, students will sing, dance, and participate in activities such as sign language, musical instruments, crafts, and story-time. These activities are all adapted to your child's age and ability, creating a fun and engaging environment for them to learn and grow.

Budding Ballerinas (3 - 5 years of age)

For our slightly older students, we offer Budding Ballerinas classes that introduce the fundamentals of ballet and tap or jazz in a class format that stimulates creativity and self-expression. Teachers use songs, ballet stories, and props as teaching tools to keep students engaged and having fun.

Attire for these classes includes any style leotard, tights or short nylon socks, pink ballet slippers, and black patent leather tap shoes or caramel Capezio slip-on jazz shoes. Class will commence with tap or jazz shoes (depending on which class your child is enrolled in), and students should bring a dance bag into the studio with their ballet slippers in the bag. Dance shoes should have the student's name written inside or on the bottom.

Combination Classes

For students who want to explore different dance styles, we offer combination classes that include ballet/tap, ballet/jazz, and jazz/tap. These classes allow students to try out different styles and discover their passions while still receiving high-quality training.

At The Ballet Barre Performing Arts School, we believe that dance is for everyone. We're committed to providing a safe and engaging learning environment for students of all ages and abilities. We're excited to see what the new dance year brings, and we look forward to continuing to provide quality dance education for years to come.
