The introduction to the study of early training of children in classical ballet. Theoretical and practical classes examine the logical progression of the teaching of classical ballet for children aged from 7 years to 10 years approximately. (Equivalent to the First Year of the Russian Training system). Basic principles are analysed. Exercises at the barre, in the centre, and those of allegro are studied separately. Skills in composing those exercises, extending to full classes are taught. Understanding and selecting appropriate time signatures/rhythms and working with accompanists are studied. There are also observation sessions involving ballet students of the appropriate age and level of training. Mime and story making for small children are also studied.
