Schedule currently released for July. August schedule to be released. Stay on our mailing list to get updated for further announcements.

Our Introduction to Ballet (Summer Only) is designed to give young dancers (~ages 4-5) their first experience with ballet at Bellevue Classical Ballet. This flexible 4-week summer program lets students explore ballet at their own pace—join for one week or all four! It’s a wonderful way to experience training at Bellevue Classical Ballet.

Each week inlcudes: 

  • A story-based introduction to a famous ballet or ballet concept

  • Gentle stretching and body awareness 

  • Exploration of balletic movement 

This program is designed to prepare students for success in our Children’s Division, while also helping our faculty get to know each dancer. After the Introduction to Ballet summer program, we’ll work with you to recommend the best-fit level and program for the 2026–2027 school year.

*Student must be fully potty-trained prior to enrollment.
