Youth Ballet Program

About Our Youth Program

Our school year consists of four quarters:  Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer.  Each quarter is designed to build upon what was learned in the prior quarter.  Our curriculum is intentionally devised to determine the steps, skills, and concepts that should be mastered by the end of each school year.  Our students will have a clear understanding of what they will be learning and why.  

 

New students are welcome to enroll at any time – we will continue to review previously learned skills and concepts throughout the year. Cal Pac instructors incorporate teaching methods intended to tailor instruction to the needs of each student to help them achieve their greatest potential.
