Classical ballet
Classical Ballet is one of TFAS’s arts-based initiatives designed to promote physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development through the discipline and creativity of dance. Research has shown that participation in ballet and other performing arts can support physical fitness, coordination, cognitive development, confidence, discipline, and social engagement.
Through accessible ballet education and community-based activities, TFAS seeks to help children develop skills that extend beyond the studio—including perseverance, creativity, communication, self-confidence, teamwork, and healthy living.
