Ages 8-9. If a student is new to our program, please contact us prior to registration to discuss placement, as this class is a progression from the fall semester. Students are required to take two Classical Ballet 2 sessions per week. A natural progression from Classical Ballet 1 again continuing a strong emphasis on correct body placement, technique, and musicality. Syllabus continues to incorporate two additional styles: Character work, which helps develop timing and rhythm; and Free Movement, which helps to develop poise, musicality, and sensitivity to music.
The Winter/Spring session provides two additional opportunities:
Students could be invited to participate in our Royal Academy of Dance Class Awards mid-spring, at the discretion of staff.
