Ballet Notes

Ballet Notes: LCP students not on pointe may choose to take one ballet class per week. Enrollment in LCP Ballet or Ballet 8 includes 30 minutes of pointe work. Students on pointe are required to take the full Ballet/Pointe class twice per week. Those who are not on Pointe will be dismissed for the last 30 minutes of class.

LCP dancers are invited to participate in optional workshops to make connections with professional artists and companies.

Tuition for classes is charged based on the number of classes per week and is the same rate as all other LoMastro dance classes. Class tuition is payable in 2 installments, the first upon registration and the 2nd on January 15. Solo/Duet/Trio fees are additional, learn more.

Dancers who want to perform group routines should audition for our Dance Company in addition to LCP.

On stage

Recital 2027

Recital participation is highly encouraged, but not required. Those who wish to opt out must notify the office prior to Nov 1 to avoid being charged for costume fees.

All LCP classes will perform in the Recital. Those who opt out of Recital will learn the choreography in a removable spot. Learning and rehearsing choreography is valuable whether or not the dancer performs on stage. A non-recital LCP Ballet class will continue to be held for those not in the recital.

On-stage rehearsals and recital: June 3-6, 2027.
