Following is a summary of our standard fall class offerings. Fall Classes begin September 9th
ABSA operates out of Maryland Hall. All classes are held there, and registration is through their website. All classes Pre-Ballet 3 and up are taught according to the RAD syllabus as described on our Syllabus and Examinations page. Classical Ballet 4 and up are invited to participate in our Mini Nutcracker in December, and all students are welcome to participate in our full-length ballet in May. Click here for more information on Uniforms. Please contact us before registering your child for any classes above the Pre-Ballet level, as our staff will assess proper class placement.
All class sessions listed under each level are required unless otherwise specified.
Maryland Hall is now functioning through ArtsPeople for their Fall 2024 classes. Click on each class time for direct links. (You will have to create a login to register).
