One of our favorite traditions during Summer Intensive was our weekly showing! ✨

We always prioritized giving our students the opportunity to perform throughout the intensive. We believe these showings were a great way for dancers of different levels to gain build confidence and become more comfortable performing in front of an audience.

That’s a wrap on our Summer Intensive! 🩰✨

Over the past four weeks, our dancers have made so much progress, built new skills, and grown in confidence. It’s always so rewarding to see how much can change with consistent training!

But we’re not done yet! 👀

Next up: Back-to-School Prep!

After a short break in August, we’ll get back into the studio to rebuild strength, stamina, and technique for the new school year.

We love when alumni come back to take class. Having them in the studio reminds our current students that consistency, hard work, and practice build confidence over time.

It is always inspiring for younger dancers to see where their training can lead.

Here is:

Pre Ballet Enrollment is Open! 🩰

Our Pre Ballet program (Ages 4–6) is the perfect introduction to classical ballet. Young dancers develop coordination, musicality, confidence, and discipline while learning the fundamentals of ballet in a fun and encouraging environment.

As part of our year-round program, pre ballet students have the opportunity to perform in our Nutcracker and Spring Concert, creating lasting memories while building a strong foundation for future training.

Take the first step in your dancer’s ballet journey—enroll today! ✨

First pointe classes can feel repetitive, but every exercise helps build strength.

After recently getting the green light to go on pointe, our young students have been so excited to begin this new chapter.

They’ll be working hard all summer, building ankle strength and laying a strong foundation, one class at a time. 🩰

At Ballet School SF, we’re all about consistency.

Here are our different age groups practicing their balancés.

While our dancers are at different stages of their training, we believe every student builds strong technique by continually returning to the fundamentals.

Progress starts with the basics and grows through consistent practice. Train with us today.
