Potential at Every Level and
Every Age

What you'll find in our dance studio
Here at Trillium Ballet, we offer tailored training to every dancer that steps into our studio.
​
We honor bodily autonomy, safety, and individuality. We are an inclusive and gender-affirming space. We hope to reshape the world of ballet through radical acceptance of our bodies, personhood, and excellent dance technique.
​Being true to yourself and being a great dancer are not exclusive.
​
We reject the notion that people who differ from the status quo cannot achieve beautiful, thoughtful, and proficient feats of athleticism and art through dance.
​
We are an adult focused studio, offering classes to those who have never danced before or who have previously danced and long to dance once more.​​

Frequently Asked Questions
​HOW DO YOU TEACH BALLET WITHOUT GENDER NORMS?
We teach everyone every role, whether the roles are classically 'Men' or 'Women' roles. This enriches a dancer, aids their technical proficiency, and highlights dancers' strengths without shaming them for having specific characteristics or stylistic preferences.
​
We instruct through education and history. For instance, when we teach hand placement, we teach both 'Men' and 'Women' hand techniques and allow dancers to choose which hand form they prefer.
​
We encourage everyone to dance on pointe and everyone gets a chance to be a partner or partneree when their body is ready to partner another humans' weight. This helps dancers to be themselves and gives them confidence in their own identity. This also makes well informed dancers who will understand every facet of ballet.

HOW CAN I PERFORM WITH ENSEMBLE?
We hold an audition every September and January for dancers to perform with us on stage in original and classical ballets.
