What is Underwater Ballet?
A ballet class… in a pool.
Dancing in water is an incredible way to improve technique, body awareness, strength, and control. The resistance of the water helps dancers feel and activate the muscles needed for strong dance technique while slowing movement down enough to focus on articulation and positioning.
In underwater ballet, dancers can:
• Isolate muscles more clearly
• Improve alignment and placement
• Strengthen balances and control
• Practice jumps and leaps with more time to articulate movement
• Explore movement in a completely unique environment
Dancers stand on the bottom of the pool with water up to their shoulders while working through ballet-based movement and conditioning exercises.
This unique experience is part of the Madison Contemporary Dance Summer Intensive and is always a student favorite.

Parents—you’re doing a lot. 💛
We’re working to make dance easier for families—closer to home, at times that actually fit your schedule, and at a price that feels doable. But we need your input to get it right.
