The definition of ballet is an artistic dance performed as a theatrical entertainment by a number of persons. The art of Ballet can trace its origins to the early seventeenth century, when dancers performed to entertain audiences between scenes of an opera. Russia has become the international center of ballet, combining the strength and fervour of Italian style with the softness and fluidity of the French school. Choreographers experiment with both new and traditional forms and styles, and dancers constantly seek to expand their technical and theatrical capabilities. Much of a ballet dancers training takes place at a barre. Ballets can be performed alone or as part of an opera. Ballet is best known for its high level techniques such as pointe work, grand pas de deux, and high leg extensions.

Note from Miss Desiré:

This art form is the foundation of all types of dance and is very beneficial class for all dancers. Pre Intermediate students are required to participate in a 45 minute technique and/or ballet class.  Ballet is highly recommended to all students who wish to improve and strengthen their other core classes.  Emphasis is placed on technique, proper body alignment and precision of movement.

This level of dancer has already accomplished a strong technical basis of jazz, tap, and ballet. The Senior level is more advanced and the work is more complex. These students are involved in Exam work and are very committed.

Pre Seniors/Seniors are involved in exams, Dance Explosion, Moose Jaw Festival of Dance, Starpower and Troupe as well; they will be involved in large group numbers.

The program is based on the CDTA and ADAPT syllabi. Dancers will take this class separate from their tap/jazz and technique classes.

Students at this level are required to do regular stretching and practicing at home.

Ballet is the foundation of all dance forms and helps the dancer's body prepare techinically for jazz and tap. 
I feel it is my responsibility to develop a well rounded and technical student and stress the importance of each student participating in a ballet class along with their other classes.
