The Ballet Mississippi School provides students with a pre-professional training program focusing on classical ballet technique. Through the development of strong technique, flexibility, artistry and musicality, the student acquires the skills and discipline necessary to pursue a career in dance. Students are placed in the school by ability and age and are required to meet their classes as set forth in the class schedule. Assessment of a student's progress is ongoing, and evaluation of each student's progress is made at the end of the year.
