Regardless of their level or dedication, we have something for everyone

Primary Division (Ages 3-7)

We introduce young children to the elements of dance in an exciting and engaging environment while carefully planning and preparing the young dancer for Classical Ballet and Contemporary Dance. As part of the Ormond Ballet family, your child will learn much more than movement. We reinforce the important life skills of creativity, discipline, and problem-solving—all in a safe, fun, and nurturing environment.
