Elementary Division

The Elementary Division is the cornerstone to develop strong technique and discipline.

The NAB School takes immense pride in nurturing young dancers as they embark on their journey towards the Pre-Professional Division.

At ages 9-12, aspiring dancers are introduced to a structured and focused approach to developing their ballet technique. Under the guidance of our skilled instructors, they meticulously refine their form, posture, and alignment.

Classes for this age group are designed to enhance strength, flexibility, and coordination while instilling a sense of musicality and artistry. Through a systematic progression of exercises and combinations, these young dancers acquire the technical foundation necessary to transition seamlessly into the Pre-Professional Division.

Our commitment to providing a nurturing and educational environment ensures that each child is valued and empowered to reach their full potential as they advance in their ballet training.
