GAB’s Young Dancer Program:

Movement for Mommy and Me (Age 2) June 14-July 19 Friday 9:30 - 10:15 am (5 week session)

In this wonderful introductory class, parents join to dance along with their child. This class is specifically designed so that the parent can encourage the child with the movement. The Mommy and Me class includes stretching, rhythm exercises, traveling steps holding the parent’s hand, and of course, lots of fun!


PreBallet (Age 3-4) June 14-July 19 Friday 10:15 - 11:00 am (5 week session)
This class is the first step for our youngest dancers. Our PreBallet classes encourage the student to develop good posture, rhythm and coordination. Simple exercises help develop and stretch young muscles.

The Georgia Ballet, founded in 1960 by Iris Hensley, is dedicated to providing outstanding instruction in ballet and related dance styles in a professional, structured, yet nurturing environment. We believe that the pursuit of dance is unmatched in its benefits – aesthetic, physical, and mental. We also stress that a vigorous pursuit of excellence in dance is of great value, no matter what the student’s ultimate occupation.  

The Georgia Ballet faculty is a small group of dedicated and enthusiastic dance professionals who work closely together within a carefully designed curriculum.
