DANCE CLASSES
at Crozet Arts
Ballet at Crozet Arts offers dancers a supportive, nurturing environment where technique and artistry grow hand in hand. Led by Sharon D. Tolczyk, our ballet classes emphasize a commitment to the healthy physical & emotional development of dancers of all ages, with attention to training good anatomical alignment supported by a steady acquisition of technique, while nurturing a joy and love of dancing. Whether stepping into ballet for the first time or deepening long-standing training, dancers are encouraged to move with curiosity, confidence, and delight.
Dancers at Crozet Arts may choose to join seasonal performances, sharing the joy of dancing together on stage. Along the way, they build confidence, artistry, and deep camaraderie—forming a dance community that nurtures both skill and spirit.
You’ll find full details for open classes below, including any placement considerations. Some ballet classes run year-long—with registration starting at the beginning of the school year (and options for quarterly tuition billing), while classes for our youngest dancers are offered in 8-week sessions, billed for each session.
New students are always welcome to join mid-session when space & experience allow! Get in touch if you don't see the class you want currently enrolling.
Adult dancers use class cards and are welcome to drop in to intermediate and advanced classes throughout the week in a way that fits their schedules and needs. Boys and men are welcome in any class.
