Community Youth Division Classes at School of Nashville Ballet offer dancers ages 8 to 18 an introduction to classical ballet training through a more flexible, less intensive structure than our Academy Division. Using the School’s foundational syllabus, these classes provide quality instruction from highly qualified faculty in a supportive environment that encourages growth and technical development.
Classes are available at beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels, with placement determined through a placement class to ensure each dancer is in the level that best suits their current experience and ability. This division is ideal for students seeking ballet training with a schedule that allows for additional activities or commitments outside of dance.
To schedule a placement class or for additional assistance, please contact School of Nashville Ballet at 615-297-2966 x910 or email school@nashvilleballet.com.
