Why settle for good, when you can have incredible!
PRIMARY PROGRAM
WestMet Classical Training is thrilled to introduce our new Children's Primary Program! Our newest program offered in two Semesters (Fall and Spring), with performing opportunities!
Primary Program is an open enrollment ballet series for the young and aspiring dancer, ages 3-12. This program was developed focusing on the following 4 fundamentals:
Engage
WestMet instruction works first and foremost to engage your young dancer's mind and body. Teaching skills from an intellectual and physical standpoint simultaneously, we cater to multiple learning styles. Rest assured your dancer will be challenged and have fun while learning.
Entertain
Learning should be fun! While we strive to deliver the highest quality ballet instruction, we have fun while doing so! Walking away from the stigma that all things ballet must be serious, we ask your dancer questions. We entice them to wholly take part in the learning process, and we do it with a sense of humor and fun.
Teach
Fun doesn't mean lack of substance. With seasoned professionals, your young dancer will walk away with a foundation of knowledge appropriate for his or her age.
Inspire
Most of all, dance is art. And we at WestMet will strive every class to inspire your dancer's imagination, originality and inner light.
This program offers your child a safe, nurturing, and educational place to expand his or her love of dance and music!
Through a proven curriculum, young dancers will enjoy learning the foundations of classical ballet, musicality and expression!
**Additional opportunities during the Season to perform in WestMet Classical Training productions, including The Nutcracker!**
FALL ENROLLMENT OPEN NOW!
