ABOUT OUR PROGRAMS

Children's Program
Our dance program for children develops musicality, rhythm, movement skills, coordination, expression and creativity. It also encourages class participation, focus and confidence. 

It is perfectly suited for children 2 to 6 years old.  All children's program classes are open to boys and girls.

Faculty members use the Royal Academy of Dance syllabus as a template for their instruction, which provides a solid foundation for students moving into the Academy.  Children's Program classes create a nurturing environment that enables each child to begin a lifelong love for dance.

All classes meet once per week and are offered at The Martin Center for Nashville Ballet and the School of Nashville Ballet Brentwood Campus.

Academy Division
The School of Nashville Ballet Academy Division is an exciting and challenging training ground for tomorrow's dancers, choreographers, teachers and ballet lovers.

Dancers selected for this program are chosen for their talent and potential to pursue a career in professional dance. Dancers are evaluated throughout the year and considered for advancement into Nashville Ballet's official second company (NB2).
