We recommend our students ages 2.5-5 take Ballet, Tap and Tumbling. 6 year old dancers take Ballet, Tap and Pre-Jazz. Students may take Jazz after the age of 7. Ballet is strongly recommended as a twice a week course after the age of 8. Pointe students are required to take ballet classes twice a week and three times a week is recommended. Students are not ready for Pointe work until the age of 11 and then only when the teacher feels their legs are strong enough and their bodies are properly placed.
Competition Groups or Twin City Ballet Company are required to take two or three ballet classes, two jazz classes and at least one tap class per week, attend summer classes and both weeks of the Twin City Ballet Summer Dance Workshop. Twin City Ballet members also attend company classes as assigned. Dancers interested in being recommended by their teacher to attend the Twin City Ballet Summer Dance Workshop 2019 must take two or three ballet classes per week and attend summer classes.
