Elaia's Ballet 1 class aims to establish students in the foundations of ballet movement at the barre and in center, musicality, and artistry while facilitating a fun, creative-driven enviroment.
For fall of 2026, we offer one Ballet 1 class on Thursdays. The capacity for this class is thirteen students. Once capacity is met we will no longer accept registration for this class.

About Warm Ups:
These garments that are not part of the ballet uniform are used to help dancers’ muscles warm up while they prepare for class. They are permitted for all levels only at the barre until the teacher instructs dancers to remove their warm-ups for class. While Elaia Academy does not currently possess strict guidelines on warm-ups, they should be lightweight, flexible, and not too baggy, with the intention of keeping the dancer warm while they prepare for dancing in the center. Prohibited articles include: coats, outdoor jackets, sweatshirts with a hood, shoes, socks, jeans, pants loose around the ankles, heavy skirts, belts, gloves, scarves, or hats.
