Pre Ballet is part of the SOMA Kids family, created for children ages 5–6 who are ready to deepen their exploration of dance. At this stage, children are developing greater coordination, focus, and body awareness — making it an ideal time to introduce the foundations of ballet in a more intentional way.
In Pre Ballet, your child will begin learning basic ballet vocabulary, posture, and positions while continuing to build rhythm, musicality, and confidence. The class strikes a balance between structure and creativity, giving children a sense of accomplishment as they master new skills while still engaging their imagination through movement and play.
Parents can feel confident knowing their child is developing not only physical strength and grace but also important life skills such as discipline, focus, and teamwork. Pre Ballet lays the groundwork for future dance training while nurturing a lifelong love of movement and expression.
For class, we recommend comfortable dance clothes that allow free movement. Ballet slippers are encouraged at this stage, though barefoot is also acceptable.
These classes run in 4-6 week long sessions.
