Foundational Ballet Classes: Ages 5-7

There are so many options in Calgary when it comes to dance schools. I wanted an environment where my daughter felt supported, engaged, learn the safe and age-appropriate way to move her body, but also to have fun and use her imagination. Evolutions provides all of that and more in their experienced and professional directors, instructors, and staff. We love being part of the ESD family!

Online Registration for our 2024/2025 dance season begins on May 8th at 7:00pm for current families and May 12th at 7:00pm for new families.

Through our holistic approach to technique and training, we bring out each dancer’s artistry, musicality and foster a pure love for ballet. Our ballet faculty are carefully selected for their specialized education in Classical Ballet, as well as their teaching experience and understanding of child development.

The Evolutions School of Ballet is one of the only ballet schools in Calgary to teach the Cecchetti Method of Classical Ballet. Small class sizes allow for individual attention, helping to ensure all our ballet students grow as dancers.

Classical ballet is characterized by its graceful and fluid movements. Ballet is a disciplined art form in which dancers are taught specific technique and movements. We follow the Cecchetti syllabus in our ballet classes. The Cecchetti Method of Classical Ballet was developed to educate and prepare dancers with material that is appropriate to their growing bodies. Dancers are required to learn concepts and theories of movement, through a syllabus that teaches the basic structure of each individual step and musical phrasing. Students will learn syllabus from the Cecchetti method, which originated in Italy and is used as standard training in some of the most prestigious ballet schools in the world.

At Evolutions School of Dance, we offer high quality, fun and educational training in our ballet programs. All of our ballet dancers from Beginner Ballet and up, will benefit from training and learning elements from the Cecchetti Method of Ballet and Open Studies. At ESD, our ballet program offers high quality of ballet instruction and includes a focus on musicality, artistry, technique and play.

Dancers in the Beginner and Junior Foundational Ballet are only required to take one weekly ballet class.
