Performances for Younger Students

Petit Dancer Performances

Designed for Creative Movement, Pre-Ballet, and Primary students. Held twice annually at the BodyVox Dance Center. 2025–2026 session dates: December 7 and May 31. A positive and encouraging introduction to performing on stage. This wonderful opportunity is available for students enrolled in the fall, winter, and spring terms. These performances are strongly encouraged, though optional.


Creative Movement (3-5 years) is a playful introduction to ballet fundamentals through storytelling and imagery. This class encourages self-expression and confidence while teaching basic ballet etiquette and French terminology. With flexible dress code options, it’s perfect for children who thrive in a creative and supportive environment.

Pre-Ballet (4-5 years) This engaging class introduces young dancers to the joy and structure of classical ballet in a nurturing and imaginative environment. Designed for children who are ready for more routine and focus, Pre-Ballet 4–5 blends creative movement with foundational ballet technique. Students will explore musicality, rhythm, spatial awareness, and basic ballet terminology through age-appropriate exercises and games. The class introduces elements of traditional ballet structure—such as warm-up, center work, and simple jumps—while encouraging self-expression through storytelling, pantomime, and improvisation. With a consistent dress code and a focus on ballet class traditions, this level helps build confidence, coordination, and a love for dance, preparing students for the transition to more formal training in the Primary level.
