Ottawa Ballet Classes



Ballet Classes - R.A.D.

Ballet classes are the Fundamental of Dance. They teach poise, posture, strength and technique. It's a total body workout that requires both discipline and focus - but it's also very exciting and fun.

Whether you're looking for an activity for yourself or for your child, ballet is the perfect choice - and it's great for all ages (3 to adult) and genders. Our school offers ballet at recreational, professional, and competitive dance levels. Come try one of our drop-in ballet classes and see how fun it is!



Ballet Dance Classes Are So Much More Than Just Tutus!

Ballet is both a form of exercise, and creative expression. You interpret each dance movement in your own unique way and it becomes your own personal expression.

When you take ballet lessons at our dance school, you're taught a series of simple exercises called the barre. These exercises are designed to help build poise and grace - which simultaneously engage every inch of your muscles and helps to promote better posture, sculpt and tone your body, promote flexibility, and strengthen the back and abdominal muscles.

Studies have showed that what professional ballet dancers do is as physically demanding as what professional football players do. It's a great and fun workout. Come try one of our drop-in ballet classes and see for yourself!
