Let's be honest..
Most ballet curriculum is built from tradition, gut instinct, and last year’s notes. It works—until it doesn’t.
The Curriculum Lab gives you a clear, strategic framework to build a leveled ballet curriculum that grows with your students. You’ll walk step-by-step through designing your entire program: from long-term goals to daily combos, from spiraling progressions to seasonal planning. It helps you stop reinventing the wheel and start building a ballet curriculum that is aligned, age-appropriate, and reflective of 21st-century best practices.
This is where confidence meets clarity & where burnout starts to disappear.
This is for you if...
-
You feel like you’re always reinventing the wheel when planning your year
-
You want your curriculum to be measurable, not just memorable
-
You’re teaching multiple levels—but your class structure doesn’t reflect it
-
You want to create a program that supports growth, not just choreography
