Level 1/2 (7-10 yrs.): (No experience necessary)
This is a fun and encouraging introduction to ballet. Children begin by learning basic balletic posture, placement, positions, and steps. They soon develop skills in jumping, turning, and the slower controlled movements. Students learn to shape and carry their arms in balletic positions while executing steps of varying dynamics. Young dancers are given individual attention as they begin to increase their repertoire of ballet steps.

Ballet: Level 5/6/Inter. – (14- 17) (Experience required)
Once students have trained in ballet Levels 1 through 4, they have developed a level of technique, strength, and balletic movement that enables them to begin studying at more advanced levels. Students will develop a more refined quality and artistry in dancing and become increasingly physically adept at ballet. Dancing more often per week will help maintain and develop the strength and artistry to really enjoy the higher levels of ballet. Pointe work can be considered in another class with the required strength and alignment.
