All Leveled classes: Our classes by level focus on technique, self-expression & performance within the joy of a disciplined yet encouraging learning environment. These classes are based on the dancer’s level, NOT on the dancer’s age. It is standard for dancers to spend about 1-3 years in one level.

Placement will be based on ability and past experience rather than age.

Level 1-For the student moving up from Combo class curriculum and ready for more focus in each style. This level is appropriate for dancers who are starting to master the basics of the style and are ready to take their dancing to the next level.

Level 2-for the student who has mastered all the basics and is ready to move to a higher level of difficulty.

Level 3-for the student who has demonstrated a high level of proficiency in Level II and is ready for more intricate choreography and can perfect details of more complicated steps.

Level 4-for the student with a significant amount of dance background who is ready for more intricate choreography and can perfect details of more complicated steps.

Level 5-for the student with a significant amount of dance background who is dancing at a very advanced level.

Level 1-6 Ballet Tech: Students will learn classical ballet techniques and terminology. Each class includes barre exercises, center floor work, and across-the-floor combinations.

Dancers must be recommended by a teacher to join this class.

*Pointe: Pointe dancers must first take a PrePointe class and pass the end of the year “exam” to graduate to Pointe shoes. Going en pointe too early could be dangerous or harmful to the dancer’s body and result in the dancer practicing technique incorrectly, forming bad habits. This is only for dancers with strong ballet technique, whose body is strong enough and ready to go en pointe and for dancers who have a true love of ballet. Pointe dancers are required to take a minimum of 2 ballet classes in addition to their pointe class. Please contact the director if interested in Pointe. Dancers must be recommended by a teacher to join this class.
