SUPPLEMENTAL MALE DANCER PROGRAM
Unique in Minnesota, this innovative program is designed specifically for boys. Ballet Royale understands the importance of providing targeted opportunities for boys in addition to the myriad of mixed classes available to all. To meet these needs, Ballet Royale offers FREE supplemental boys classes for male dancers registered for our Teen, Academy or Pre-Professional Programs.
Ballet Royale’s Boys classes are for students 7 and older, with or without prior dance experience. These classes focus on strength, stamina, conditioning, coordination, focus, and agility in a fun, creative atmosphere.
Whether the goal is to pursue dance itself or to cross-train for other sports such as hockey, soccer, football, etc., Ballet Royale’s training benefits boys of all ages and abilities. Dance training and conditioning improves gross motor skills, hand-eye coordination, agility, strength, flexibility, balance, and posture, while increasing self-confidence, motivation, mental focus, and self esteem.
Such benefits transfer to all life activities, both physical and mental. Research establishes an objective and quantifiable positive relationship between arts education and academic success, not only in overall academic achievement, but particularly in mathematics, creative and critical thinking, problem solving, engagement and persistence, and community and civic engagement.
This is a great opportunity for the curious, interested, or motivated boy to try one of the most demanding and rewarding athletic activities available, in a safe, focused and structured environment.
