New To Lebanon Ballet School?

Welcome! Thank you for your interest in Lebanon Ballet School. We know in any new endeavor the hardest part can be figuring out how to get started. While there’s a lot to consider when enrolling your student in classes, we’re here to help you in making it as simple as possible.

Students enrolling in the Children and Main division are on a path of serious training. This means the student is required to advance their study yearly by taking more classes. Lebanon Ballet School ascribes to a conventionally structured system that sees dancers starting with one ballet class per week, and working up to (over several years) daily ballet classes with conditioning and/or other dance styles.

Where Do I Start?

It all depends on where you’re starting from. Consider the two scenarios below.

My student is eager and ready to begin ballet training.

Our placement starting point is your student’s age as of September 1 (unless otherwise noted).

For students ages 9 and up, our Staff will help you to determine the appropriate level for your student’s age and experience. Please contact us and we’ll guide you from here (see contact information below).

My student is interested in dance, but we’re uncertain as to whether we’re ready to make the commitment to a dance training program.

We totally understand! While the expectations of a dance training program may give you pause, we hope you’ll allow us to act as a guide and resource in considering your options. The Staff is here to help. Just contact us (see Contact Info below).
