Ballet Royale Offers Free Boys Classes

Unique in Minnesota, this innovative program is designed specifically for boys.  Ballet Royale understands the importance of providing targeted opportunities for boys in addition to the myriad of mixed classes available to both genders; boys learn differently, and respond to different classroom atmospheres and teaching approaches. To meet these needs, Ballet Royale offers free boys classes for Ballet for Boys and Men’s Intermediate Ballet.

Ballet Royale’s boys’ classes are for students 7 and older, with or without prior dance experience. These classes focus on strength, stamina, conditioning, coordination, focus, and agility in a fun, creative atmosphere.

Registration is open now! Fall classes begin September 10.

Ballet for Boys 1 – Wednesdays, 6:45-7:45pm
Ballet for Boys 2 – Thursdays, 4:30-5:30pm
