The Ballet & Jazz Curriculum Studios Rely On to Build Strong Dancers
Save hours each week with a proven, done-for-you system that removes guesswork and keeps every class progressing.
I created Dance Studio Syllabus because I needed it, too.
When I stepped into directing, I felt the same pressure many of you feel: multiple levels, late-night planning, and trying to make sure each class truly builds on the last.
And I kept hearing the same things:
“I don’t have time to plan.”
“I need age-appropriate progressions.”
“I just want to know what comes next.”
It wasn’t a lack of passion.
It was a lack of structure.
So I built a level-by-level curriculum with clear expectations, intentional progression, and ready-to-use lesson plans, so you can teach with confidence instead of scrambling each week.
Because strong dancers are built when teachers have clarity and the energy to teach well.

Rooted in time-tested ballet and jazz pedagogy, this curriculum translates classical principles into clear, studio-ready structure.
Inspired by pioneers like Cecchetti, Vaganova, and Giordano, each level is intentionally designed to build strength, coordination, artistry, and alignment—without rushing development or skipping foundations.
