Children’s Division
Balanced with creative movement and musical improvisation, children learn the basics of classical ballet technique and proper body alignment to build safe habits for future work.
Princeton Ballet School’s Children’s Division includes ages 3 through 7 (Hand in Hand to Primary C). PBS students may have the opportunity to perform alongside American Repertory Ballet professional artists in productions such as The Nutcracker.
Auditions are NOT required for the PBS Spring Performance. Dancers from Primary B and Primary C who are interested in participating would just need to register to perform.
