Does your child
rise up on tiptoes and twirl around the garden?
Tap down the grocery store aisle?
Sing along with musicals?
Stage neighborhood plays?
Our children show us hearts filled with dancing, singing,
and acting. And, when the time comes for you to choose
a studio that can help your child fulfill his or her dreams,
we know your choice will be based on many factors:
primarily safety and experienced instruction.
Columbia Ballet School believes that the early study of
the arts should be fun for students, while teachers
provide excellent instruction. Students at this age can
choose from age-appropriate classes in ballet ,tap, and
jazz. These classes meet on a weekly basis and are
taught by mature instructors who teach without intimidation.
At the end of the year, all classes take part in our
end-of-year concert.  This experience is the culmination
of each student's training and hard work. It is an
opportunity to perform in costume, onstage, which boosts
their self-confidence and gives them invaluable
experiences that last a lifetime.
Our beautiful new studios are conveniently located near
the intersection of Garners Ferry Road and Rosewood
Drive. All studios are glassed so that parents can
observe instruction.
Students at this age are placed in class primarily based
on age and experience. Students who are three or four
usually start in pre-ballet. Older students start in primary
ballet. Once students have gained some experience,
they may move into Ballet A or Ballet II. Please talk with
the teacher if you have questions about placement.

Thank you!
It is important for students of all ages to
have appropriate footwear. We ask that
you have your child fitted for shoes at a
dance store. Leotards and tights can be
purchased at other places, but good
shoes are important for instruction and
safety!
