A: Ballet classes for 5-year-old children last about 45 minutes. It is recommended to attend 1 to 2 times per week, depending on the child’s progress.

2. What makes ballet at age 5 different from Ballet Baby (ages 3–4)?
A: At this stage, children already have greater coordination and concentration, which allows them to work on simple sequences, rhythm, and posture. The training becomes more structured but remains playful.

3. What are the main benefits of ballet for 5-year-old children?
A: Ballet at this age improves posture, flexibility, and balance, develops musicality, discipline, and choreographic memory, and increases confidence in group settings.

4. What is the recommended uniform for this age group?
A: It is recommended that children wear a leotard, tights, and full-sole ballet slippers. Hair should be tied back in a bun or ponytail to ensure discipline and safety during movements.

5. Are pointe shoes used in ballet classes for 5-year-olds?
A: No. Pointe shoes are only introduced at older ages, once there is enough bone maturity and technical readiness.

6. How many children are usually in each class?
A: It is recommended that classes remain small, between 8 and 12 children, to guarantee individual attention and teaching quality.

A: Yes. Regular ballet practice improves focus, memory, and discipline, qualities that positively reflect on a child’s concentration and organization at school.

8. Is it possible to attend a trial class before enrolling?
A: Yes. A trial class can be scheduled, subject to availability, so that the child and parents can get to know the space, the teacher, and the methodology.

9. What is included in the class fee?
A: The monthly plan includes only the weekly classes. Registration and insurance are handled directly at the school at the time of enrollment.

10. Is ballet suitable for shy or very active children?
A: Yes. Shy children gain confidence and expression, while very active children learn to channel their energy, focus, and follow rules.

11. Are there performances or showcases at this age?
A: Yes. The school may organize small showcases or presentations, which help children build stage confidence and share their progress with family.

12. How does progression work after age 5?
