The Stage Begins Here
1. Philosophy
Our non-competitive approach nurtures the whole dancer—body, mind, and spirit—prioritizing well-being over mere movement.
3. Growth
As students progress, they gain confidence, resilience, and a deeper understanding of their own potential—both in the studio and in life.
2. Training
Our curriculum challenges dancers to push past their limits with guided instruction that refines their skills and nurtures artistic expression in every class.
4. Improvement
Through rehearsal, feedback, and performance, our dancers transform. Each step forward is a celebration of dedication and passion.
2026 - 2027 Schedule Coming Soon!
Student placement is based on technique, physical development, age, and experience with our curriculum. While age is considered, our experienced faculty place students where they will thrive—prioritizing their physical, emotional, and social well-being. Bluegrass Youth Ballet is focused on quality instruction and healthy progression, with care for the whole student in mind. New students ages 8 and up, or those returning after time away, must complete an evaluation before enrolling in Elementary, Intermediate, Advanced or Pre-Professional levels. You can contact Kori at enrollment@bluegrassyouthballet.org for more information.

This 45-minute class meets once a week and captures the joy of dancing in the students.

Ballet vocabulary and class etiquette are introduced in preparation for pre-ballet.

Pre-Ballet classes are one hour and meet once a week. The class more closely follows the structure of a ballet technique class but still allows for using the students’ imaginations. The class begins with conditioning exercises with a creative theme to stretch and strengthen their muscles. Students will become familiar with the ballet barre and ballet terminology, body placement, class etiquette, and musicality.
