Jubilee’s Ballet Program
A Jubilee ballerina is poised, confident, gentle, elegant, strong, disciplined - and we want to do everything we can to support their development and growth in these attributes.
It’s easy to get caught up in levels and leotards, colors and class times. But when it comes down to it, what’s important is your dancer being in a class with other dancers that they feel comfortable with and share similar ballet experience levels.
We are excited to see our ballet program and our ballerinas grow! Find everything you need to know about our program on this page.
Please contact jubileedancespokane@gmail.com with any questions!

Ballet Levels
Ballet classes are listed as numeric levels: Levels 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The difficulty of the class increases with the levels. Level 1 is a beginner class and Level 5/Pointe is the most advanced student ballet class we currently offer. The goal is to more closely align our classes with ballet technique-based curriculum rather than solely going off of a student’s age.
We are providing rough age outlines below, but please note there will always be exceptions depending on a child’s experience, and the Jubilee ballet staff is more than happy to talk with you about which class will allow your child to thrive and grow in both ballet technique and their love for dancing for Jesus!
Ballet Dress Code
We ask each level to wear a specific leotard color to equalize the classroom environment. This increases focus on the dancing and praising of our gracious God, and remove any dress-related distractions. It’s also quite fun for your dancer to get a new leotard color as they progress through the levels - it’s like earning your stripes and a proud moment for any ballet student!
Leotard scholarships are available for students who would like to apply for one. Want suggestions on tights and shoes, too?
Shoes: Check out samples here and here
Tights: Check out samples here and here
We also have AMAZING local dance boutiques like Spokane Dance Boutique and Empire Dance Shop where you can ask for help. We love our local dance shops!

Our youngest dancers will not move into numeric levels until they are old enough. For now, we will provide opportunities for them to experience tons of fun and games in ballet and nurture their love of dance.

Jubilee’s Pointe Program
Dancing en pointe is a special achievement in a ballerina’s training that takes hard work, determination, patience, faith, and grit. A few key things to know:
We have developed a set of criteria to help teachers determine a dancer’s readiness for pointe. If your dancer would like to be assessed for pointe, once per semester (mid- to late-semester) they can ask their teacher to schedule an assessment time. A teacher must accept the request and will work with families to schedule a short (~15 minutes) time likely before or after class. Pointe evaluations are $35 with a 2-dancer minimum.
Pointe shoes are a privilege. There is never a guarantee of going en pointe. We consider a variety of factors like strength, turnout, shape of the foot, etc., as well as non-physical aspects like focus, dedication and maturity. If there are ever questions about your dancer’s readiness, don’t hesitate to talk to us teachers! Please encourage your dancer! Let them know how amazing they are. Even if they’re not quite ready, re-assure them that God smiles upon their dancing with or without pointe shoes!
