Piedmont School of Music & Dance’s exclusive Mila Ballerina® Dance Academy is a well-rounded and effective program for teaching technique to young dancers (ages 3 – 6) in a fun, accessible way! The curriculum is broken down into 6 to 8-week sessions, for a total of 6 units to be taught over the course of the year. An original “Mila Story”, will accompany each theme along with seasonal pre-choreographed dances and seasonal newsletters for parents to review vocabulary and what’s being taught.



Mila Ballerina™ Dance Classes

Ballet is known as the foundation of all dance styles and is a theatrical representation of a story usually accompanied by music. All Ballet classes include barre, center and across the floor work. Technical, Pointe, and performance (repertoire) classes are offered. Pointe is an advanced form of Ballet technique, the main difference is that the shoe worn has a hardened toe and reinforced arch which enables dancers to dance on the tips of their toes.  For this very reason, Pointe is not introduced fully until the student has a strong understanding of alignment and body awareness.



Ballet & Pointe Classes

Our Charlotte music school offers piano lessons for students of all abilities and ages. PSMD offers every style of piano lesson from jazz and classical to Gospel and pop.  We have students who want to play for fun and others who wish excel at the collegiate level. Because PSMD has multiple piano instructors on staff, we are able to match students' needs with a faculty member who works best with their particular age, interest and skill level. Our instructors recommend starting piano lessons no earlier than 5 years of age. PSMD’s private piano lessons are one-on-one instruction and lesson lengths are offered in 30-minutes, 45-minutes and 1-hour increments. For advanced level piano students, PSMD has instructors with their master’s degrees in piano who can prepare students for university auditions.
