Ballet Petite is the first premiere dance education program exclusively for the young child. The specialized curriculum was developed by Nancy Parenti in 1992. Along with the technical leveling of each class, she developed the “storydance”. Each day is a magical door opening to an enchanted realm where stories are enacted and the wonders of all of the arts shine in the light of imagination. Ballet Petite is an intermediate step between natural movement and formal classical ballet training. The children learn to move from creative movement to pre-primary ballet. The educational value is to introduce dance, artistically, to young children. The artistry of Ballet Petite speaks to the heart of children.

We teach ballet, hip hop, musical theater, tap and pointe to children 18 months through 14 years in the DC, MD and VA areas. We incorporate dance choreography, classical children’s literature, music compositions and beautiful costumes. 

Our programs include classes in Ballet, Musical Theatre, Hip Hop, Tap and Pointe, camps for Half-Days
(Morning or Afternoon) or Full-Days, Petite Parties and after-school Enrichments.
