Question 2

Boys Classes - Introduction to Ballet (Ages 6-10)

Accepted Answer

Not sure about ballet? We've heard that before, and we'd love to change your mind.

The benefits speak for themselves – coordination, musicality, athleticism, and a love of the arts. It's why elite athletes across every sport have incorporated ballet into their training. We just think there's no reason to wait.

Our Boys Intro to Ballet class is low-pressure by design. Dress code is optional. The focus is on movement, fun, and building confidence in the studio. No stigma. No barriers. Just dance. Classes run one hour per week and are free for the first full year. Once the basics are in place, boys can branch into additional group classes, and as they grow, the training grows with them, adding partnering, strength training, and men's technique.

Taught by Mr. Birkadze himself or one of our esteemed professional male dancers.

This class is free of charge for the first year, after year 1 this class is $35/month, however we do encourage dancers, when they're ready, to move into group classes to benefit from the full curriculum.

Question 4

Ballet 2 - Primary Division (Ages 7-9)

Accepted Answer

Our beginner level builds directly on what was introduced in Ballet 1. The emphasis shifts toward clean, precise execution as students begin to expand their vocabulary of steps and spend more time in centre work. Attention to detail and musical sensitivity are central to this level, and it is here that foundational habits are truly established. What a dancer internalizes at this stage carries forward into every level of training that follows, making Ballet 2 one of the most formative steps in a dancer's development.

An essential component of classical ballet training, character class develops expressive use of the head and port de bras (use of the arms) through traditional folk and national dance forms, enriching every dancer's stage technical quality and presence on stage. Dancers enrolled in Ballet 2 and above are encouraged to attend their corresponding character class for a well-rounded, dynamic curriculum.

Question 11

Stretch

Accepted Answer

Intentional flexibility training to support recovery, prevent injury, and build the range of motion every dancer needs.

Question 12

Competition & Coaching

Accepted Answer

At ACB, we believe the most meaningful growth happens in the studio and on the stage. In a field where competitions can quickly become the focal point, we choose to keep ours on the work itself — building technique, artistry, and the kind of collective experience that shapes a dancer over time. We do support dancers who wish to pursue the occasional competition, and we are happy to discuss private coaching options for those interested. We simply want families to know that competitions are not the center of what we do here, and that is by design.
