Ballet offers a wide range of physical, mental, and social benefits that are valuable regardless of gender:
Strength and Athleticism: Ballet builds core strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, and muscular endurance. Many professional athletes use ballet to enhance their performance.
Discipline and Focus: Ballet requires precision, dedication, and mental focus. These qualities often transfer to other areas of life, including academics and sports such as football, hockey, basketball, martial arts, and wrestling.
Creative Expression: Ballet is an art form. It gives people a way to express emotions and tell stories through movement, encouraging emotional intelligence and confidence.
Teamwork and Community: Ballet involves ensemble work and partnering, teaching collaboration, respect, and trust among peers.

CSB Leveling System
CSB’s youth program consists of three parts: our Rec Center classes, our technique levels, and an Advanced Trainee Program.
Our Rec levels are for our youngest dancers, beginning at age 3. These classes run in partnership with the Longmont Rec Center. Registration is through the Longmont Rec Center website every quarter. Classes are held at CSB with CSB staff.
Our Technique levels consist of six progressive levels of ballet technique, three levels of pointe, and a pre-pointe level focused on Pointe-readiness. Students in Technique levels also receive cross-training in multiple styles such as contemporary, Jazz, Tap, Bollywood, and more.
Our final program level is our Advanced Trainee Program. It is a rigorous and comprehensive training experience designed for dancers of high school age with aspirations of pursuing a professional ballet career, entering a college dance program, or simply seeking an advanced level of training. Look at our Advanced Trainee Program Page for information on taking dance training to the next level.

CSB follows the St. Vrain Valley School District for school closures relating to weather during the week. If SVVSD closes after school activities, CSB will follow the weather closure and cancel all after-school classes, including trainee (ATP) classes. If the closure happens on a weekend, CSB staff will decide the morning of if the weather permits classes/ rehearsals.
If CSB closes for weather, you will receive an email to the main email address listed on your Studio-Pro account.
In the event of a weather-related closure, CSB will schedule a make-up class for the closure. CSB’s official make-up class week is the last week of the season. An email will be sent detailing when the makeup class will be.
CSB follows SVVSD for large break closures, such as Thanksgiving Break, Winter Break, and Spring Break, but does not observe single-day holiday closures, including Memorial Day, Labor Day, and MLK Day. Classes will still be held on those days, even though public schools observe the day.
School Closures
