Over the course of the program, students consolidate the basic elements of classical ballet, learning the 5 positions of the legs, carriage, and position of the arms (port de bras), the coordination of the movements of the limbs, and variations. This is accompanied by balance work and weight shifting, demi-pointe work, centering on demi-pointe, an introduction to turning with exercises en tournant, jumping, and the development of the awareness of the aesthetics of the flow and expressiveness of movement. Repetition and carefully paced, methodical work are essential for learning the exercises correctly and forming the proper habits in terms of technique. Students will develop their physical and artistic potential with an emphasis on strength and flexibility, bodily control, discipline, and musicality.

This class is a boys only ballet class and meets three times a week. Since 2011, Ballet des Amériques is preparing the ground for a true transformation that will bring boys and girls into ballet training by eliminating the false stereotypes and replacing them with a clear view of what ballet truly is: a serious and difficult art that demands an exceedingly high degree of athleticism, including stamina, agility, strength, power, flexibility and Culture. https://bdaconservatory.com/trainee daily 0.75 2025-09-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ec6c3cfe467b630ff7a0c0/37e33fea-701d-4aa7-9504-7cbb1d26ade7/Ballet+2000+Full+Page+216mm+x+286+mm+-+including+3mm+bleed+on+each+side+copy.jpg Trainee - Professional Company Poster for Ballet des Amériques Company Carole Alexis with a pink background, showing ballet dancers performing, overlayed with instructional text about auditions, scholarships, and contact information, and mentioning the company's 10th anniversary. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ec6c3cfe467b630ff7a0c0/565d291c-0aa5-42eb-8b27-316f999f1ad9/IMG_5072.JPG Trainee - Professional Company Evenings of Dance in Westchester - Annual Event https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ec6c3cfe467b630ff7a0c0/b5fc7461-2476-4648-9bf4-6c87e4c629f3/June+19+Performance+in+Gantry+Plaza+State+Park.jpg Trainee - Professional Company Peter and the Wolf by the professional company and the students of Ballet des Amériques. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ec6c3cfe467b630ff7a0c0/25e9e586-a305-4547-a2d1-f39175cc4b64/hF9PCT7T.jpeg Trainee - Professional Company Poster advertising a ballet performance of Nutcracker Dream at Emelin Theatre, showing a ballerina in a blue tutu performing a dance, with snowflake graphics in the background, and details of show dates, times, and ticket information. https://bdaconservatory.com/summer-intensive-i daily 0.75 2026-01-22 https://bdaconservatory.com/private-coaching daily 0.75 2025-09-13 https://bdaconservatory.com/new-page-1 daily 0.75 2026-01-22 https://bdaconservatory.com/going-on-pointe daily 0.75 2021-07-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ec6c3cfe467b630ff7a0c0/280d531c-1e0d-44c6-b3cc-d90d386ae0b7/BDA_DSC_2873.jpg Going on Pointe - Informations on pointe technique Pointe Readiness Program Ballet dancers are typically considered ready to use the pointe technique, which requires toe shoes, at 12 years of age. However, musculoskeletal maturity and motor skill development vary greatly. The Harkness Center for Dance Injuries’ pointe readiness program consists of a series of dynamic tests. These can provide an accurate estimation to parents and dance company leaders of a youth’s readiness to safely begin pointe work. https://nyulangone.org/locations/harkness-center-for-dance-injuries/dance-injury-prevention-programs Functional Criteria for Assessing Pointe Readiness Megan Richardson, M.S., A.T.C.; Marijeanne Liederbach, Ph.D., P.T.; Emily Sandow, P.T., D.P.T., Harkness Center for Dance Injuries, New York University Hospital for Joint Diseases, New York,York, USA Am I Ready for Pointe Work? – Checklist Preparing for pointe work isn't just about developing strong feet. Your legs, all the way from ankle to hip, must also be strengthened, and you also need good balance and turnout before you're ready to go en pointe. The list below is shows what you'll need before you're allowed on your toes. If the list sounds daunting, remember it's for your own safety. Dancing en pointe before you're ready almost always causes injuries, and those injuries can be bad enough to end your dancing career before it's even begun. Before you're allowed en pointe, you need to be able to achieve the following: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ec6c3cfe467b630ff7a0c0/1626381034678-JM2R6BG2BTD60WBJ2YC2/IMG_6835.jpeg Going on Pointe Good turnout in motion. It's harder to hold your turnout en pointe than it is on the flat. So if you can't stay turned out while dancing (not just at the barre), you won't be able to hold it on pointe. No sickling. If your foot tends to sickle inwards, your weight will be on your little toe instead of your big toe. That will affect your balance and increase your risk of injury or strain. You're more likely to fall off your pointes, which is dangerous. Good posture in motion. If you're inclined to arch your back, stick your butt out or have any other posture problem while dancing, you'll have trouble balancing on pointe. Pointed feet. This may sound obvious, but by this I mean with straight pointed toes. Some dancers point their feet but curl some or all of their toes under. It may not be obvious with shoes on, so take your shoes off and check your toes are flat. Curled toes in ballet slippers become knuckling in pointe shoes. You can't stand on curled toes! Good balance on one leg on demi-pointe. You need to be comfortable balancing on one leg on demi-pointe. For instance, you should be able to do a piqué passé with a straight leg, and hold your balance on demi-pointe with your leg in passé, without wobbling. Talking of demi-pointe, if you're aiming to get on pointe, then you need to start aiming higher! Many ballet students don't take their relevé to its fullest extent, and that habit needs to change if you want to wear those pointe shoes. The other consideration before starting pointe work is how old you are. Like it or not, age is a factor in allowing any dancer to dance en pointe. https://bdaconservatory.com/students-reviews daily 0.75 2021-07-15 https://bdaconservatory.com/parents-testimonies daily 0.75 2025-02-27 https://bdaconservatory.com/faqs-1 daily 0.75 2026-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ec6c3cfe467b630ff7a0c0/1626900241597-UZOCSMRIV1L3H6BJJCLK/IMG_6951.JPG Tuitions - Registration Fee: $150 (applicable to all levels ) Creative movement: $1800 /year Pre-Ballet I: $2,550 /year Pre-Ballet II: $,3650 / year Pre-Ballet III: 3,780 / year Grade I A: $4,620/ Year Grade I B : $4,620 / year Grade II: $5,040 / year Grade III: $5,610 / year Grade IV: $6,760 /year GradeV: $6,770 /year Grade VI: $6,770 /year Mise a Niveau: $6,770 /year Grade VII: $7,950 /year Grade VIII: $7,950 /year Trainee Program: $10,395 (Limited Scholarship Available) The Company Trainee Program draws on the synergy of this institutional symbiosis to prepare advanced students of the age of 17 and older for the transition into a professional career. Under the personal guidance of director and choreographer Carole Alexis, who is renowned for her method of teaching clean and strong technique and developing artistic sensibility, trainees are to study, make noticeable progress in the advanced levels, rehearse, and perform alongside the professional dancers of Carole Alexis Dance Theatre /Ballet des Amériques. Please note: The duration of the program may vary depending on the student's situation. Productions Fee: $150 (applicable to all levels) Note: Tuition and fees for the academic year must be paid in full before the start of the first class in September. Private lessons, photoshoots, and competition coaching may be arranged in consultation with the Director, but are subject to separate fees. To schedule a private lesson or to inquire about additional expenses such as competition entry fees, travel, etc., please contact admin@balletdesameriques.com At Ballet des Amériques, students have the opportunity to perform several times a year in a professional production environment. Great care is taken to ensure that rehearsals do not cut into class time. Rather, rehearsals and performances are part of the curriculum of study, opportunities to grow and learn. It is recognized that students are not - and should not pretend to be - professional dancers and therefore, with respect to the art and history of ballet, their roles in performances must be appropriate to their level and age. This is the reason why all our performances involve both classical repertory and original choreography by director and choreographer Carole Alexis, specifically created for our students. The conservatory usually has two or three productions per year, each of which may involve multiple performances. https://bdaconservatory.com/gallery daily 0.75 2021-07-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ec6c3cfe467b630ff7a0c0/1627654545121-F9QM51NNA6ZEKAOYR96Y/IMG_6938.jpg Gallery Ballet des Amériques student receiving exquisite dance training -

Performances It is recognized that students are not - and should not pretend to be - professional dancers and therefore, with respect to the art and history of ballet, their roles in performances must be appropriate to their level and age. This is the reason why all our performances involve both classical repertory and original choreography by director and choreographer Carole Alexis, specifically created for our students. The conservatory usually has three productions per year, each of which may involve multiple performances. https://bdaconservatory.com/scholarships daily 0.75 2026-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ec6c3cfe467b630ff7a0c0/91a7f959-b05a-43b9-8c0c-891962b0e51d/preview.jpeg https://bdaconservatory.com/general-3-1 daily 0.75 2026-01-19 https://bdaconservatory.com/tickets daily 0.75 2025-09-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ec6c3cfe467b630ff7a0c0/e17feac3-4705-4d14-96c1-7b0cc3d2f87a/Peter+and+the+Wolf+2025_1857.jpg https://bdaconservatory.com/new-page-4 daily 0.75 2023-05-27 https://bdaconservatory.com/faqs-1-1 daily 0.75 2025-09-13
