Regardless of a child’s experience and ability, Ballet Center of Houston offers a broad curriculum, starting with beginner classes for those who want to try ballet to advanced training for pre-professionals.

At the end of the academic season, students at all levels have an optional opportunity to dance in BCH’s Spring Showcase, giving them an opportunity to perform before an audience and to show friends and family their progress and what they have learned during the year.


Pre-Ballet is a fun introduction to ballet for three to five-year olds.  During class, students study creative movement and very basic ballet positions; explore and refine their motor skills and musicality; and learn to work together in a group situation.  At this level, students are also encouraged to express their creativity and develop an appreciation for classical music.

Pre-ballet consists of two levels; the first for three- to four-and-a-half-olds, and a second titled Level K for five year-old kindergarten students who focus more specifically on ballet positions, vocabulary and movement.   All classes meet once a week for one hour.
