Classes in the Primary Division are open to all students in the appropriate age range with no audition required. Primary Division classes promote creativity and discipline while encouraging each child to reach their highest potential.
A pre-professional ballet training program for students ages 8 and older, classes in the Pre-Professional Division provide the ideal amount of training for students at every stage of development, as determined by the latest and most comprehensive studies of professional ballet training, dancer health, and child development. Class size is limited. Enrollment in the Pre-Professional Division of Ballet San Jose School is by audition only.
Classes in the Junior Division will focus on building a solid foundation in ballet technique with an emphasis on proper placement and safe progressions of movement while remaining sensitive to the developmental needs of younger dancers.
