Why is ballet so important?

At Paquita Dance Center, we feel so strongly about protecting a student’s physical health. This is why we require our students to enroll in a ballet class. Ballet is the only art/dance form that teaches correct alignment and core placement to make all other genres of dance safe and successful.


Through training and research we cannot, in good conscience, let a student not take ballet. We are different than most studios here in Wichita just for that reason. With all of this being said we can confidently say we feel that this training will help students will learn more confidence, they will be quicker in their thought process and execution in dance steps as well as out in the real world. These practices make a much safer environment for the dancers body and minds. Ballet and other forms of dance can be tedious and demanding, but dance helps to form a great work ethic and build a strong character.
