What is this class?
Teen Introduction to Ballet is a dedicated beginner’s class for teenagers age 13-17, and it’s exactly what it sounds like. We start from the beginning.
That means no assumptions, no keeping up with students who’ve been dancing for years, and no feeling like you’ve missed the boat. Student in this class are at the beginning of their ballet journey, and our teacher will guide you through every step, in plain language, at a pace that suits you.
You’ll be introduced to the foundations of classical ballet like the positions of the feet and arms, ballet posture, and basic steps. This is a class for anyone who has ever thought “I wish I’d learned ballet” and has decided that now is the time.
Whether you’ve dreamed of dancing since you were small, or have recently discovered a passion for ballet and don’t know where to start, this class was made for you.

A note for boys…
Ballet is for everyone. Boys who study ballet develop exceptional strength, coordination, spatial awareness, and physical discipline, qualities that translate into every sport and physical pursuit. Many elite athletes and sportspeople across the world incorporate ballet training into their programs.
At Simply Ballet, you will be welcomed, respected, and taught in an environment where your participation is valued just as much as anyone else’s. We’d love to have you.

Frequently Asked Questions for Mum or Dad
No experience is needed at all. In fact, that’s the whole point! This class has been designed specifically for teenagers who are starting ballet for the very first time, or who have had very little exposure to it.

Most students start off in a pair of cotton socks which will protect their feet and allow them to perform the ballet movements.
If they decide to continue, Simply Ballet has ballet shoes available for sale at the studio or you can pick up some from your local dancewear store. If you already own ballet shoes, jazz shoes, gymnastic shoes etc. then they can wear those!
Absolutely. Every student in this class is a beginner, so there’s no hierarchy, no “advanced” students to feel compared to, and no expectation of prior knowledge. Our teachers create a warm, encouraging atmosphere where effort and enthusiasm are celebrated. It’s completely normal for them to feel a little nervous before the first class, most students do, but most students also leave that first class feeling excited to come back.
Yes, absolutely. Boys are warmly welcomed and encouraged to join. Ballet is a brilliant pursuit for young men, building strength, coordination, and body awareness in ways that complement any other sport or physical activity. There is no “boys ballet” or “girls ballet” at Simply Ballet, there is just ballet, and everyone is welcome.
This class is a great fit for kids whose ballet experience is minimal or very rusty. If your teen did a year of ballet at age five but hasn’t danced since, they’re still very much a beginner and will benefit enormously from starting fresh with the right foundations. If you’re unsure whether the class is the right level, just get in touch and we’ll be happy to advise.

Of course! This Introduction to Ballet class is designed to flow naturally into our ongoing graded ballet program for teens and young people.
