Level 1&2

For those that have learned the basic standing posture alignment and have completed the advance beginner ballet program with great confidence. This class is great to continue your basic foundation of classical ballet and advance your skills. The class develops arm and leg co-ordination, body awareness of major muscle groups, it refines dance postures and placement plus develop strength and flexibility to execute classical movements. By the end of the first semester students will be able to feel more confident with the fluidity basic barre exercises, center practice, simple adage combination, and simple petite allegro and medium allegro (jumps) such as assemble, jete, pas de chat and tenleve. Progression and break down of all the dance movements taught at this level is the focus with drilling of each dance movement.

Proper placement and safe body dance alignment will be the focus. Note: Demi-pointe & pointe class follows this class right after the technique class for those who are physically and technically ready.

Students that have done extensive ballet in the past and may have been absent from classical ballet for some time but are very well aware of ballet vocabulary, this is a good class to get back into shape and work on the basics to feel your turn out and develop general strength again. It is always recommended to register for a program that is at a lower level to begin prior with us prior to attending more advanced levels.  Please contact us to clarify which level would be most suited to your current level of dance technique.
