Kids Classes

The Geiger Classic Ballet Academy is dedicated to the serious study of the art and appreciation of classical ballet. For all students the rewards of becoming superior ballet dancers are great: a sense of achievement, increased self esteem, poise, strength and endurance, artistic awareness, maturity and a unique feeling of accomplishment and joy!

Our Early Childhood Program (ECP) is designed to provide children between four and seven years of age with a strong foundation in dance and movement, accompanied by a nurturing and positive learning environment that will help establish the knowledge, understanding, and love of dance.

The ECP teaches the young dancer the main elements of movement and dance such as space and how to relate to it as an individual or as a member of a group, musical rhythm, opposition, directions, and the elementary positions and movements of ballet. Within the classroom the young dancer will discover the important social and critical thinking skills of self-awareness, creative expression, imagination and teamwork. Studies have shown that children who are introduced to the concepts of movement sequencing, patterning, and spatial relationships help develop reading, mathematics, and other educational skills.

What Every Parent Should Know Before Selecting A Ballet School:

In teaching for over 25 years here are the three most important questions parents should ask before choosing a school for their child.

1. What do you want your child to learn?

2. Do you want them to learn “a dance” or “how to dance?”

3. How do you judge if the physical development is safe and appropriate?

You’re busy running your family around, working and holding down your obligations. Few parents have the time to do the necessary research. What’s flashy and convenient isn’t always the best choice for your child.

That’s why this report will save you time, energy and help you to answer the most critical questions. Call my office or download the Free Report on the first page of our website.
