Certification Course

Welcome! I’m SO excited you’ve decided to join us in our Teaching Elementary Ballet course for teaching ballet to ages 7+.

In this course, you’ll learn all about how to teach developmentally correct ballet technique to ages 7+. I walk you step-by-step through what we recommend teaching each of the first three levels of ballet, beginning with a true Ballet 1 class. In our main course video, I cover level-by-level progressions and exactly what to teach at each level.

I can’t wait to share this course with you. Let's dive in!
