The list above is a partial list of Ballet Petit’s Repertoire. Since Ballet Petit is a classical Ballet school, all productions are classically based. Classical training offered at Ballet Petit includes ballet history, classical ballet story lines, familiarity with composers of the music, and many other aspects relating to the work. Since Ballet Petit is open to dancers of all levels and abilities, all student dancers are encouraged to participate in all performances. As dancers progress, opportunities become more challenging.
