Preliminary & Level A | Winter/Spring 2025
Tuesday 4:00-5:00PM
Saturday 12:30PM-1:30PM
Preliminary (age 6): The goal for any young dancer in our program is to encourage individual accomplishment and the joy of dance, and this remains true in the Preliminary level. These goals are paired with instruction in proper body placement, muscle development, flexibility and foundations in classical ballet technique. Students also receive basic instruction in rhythm, counting and tempo of music (with an emphasis on classical ballets). This class is sometimes combined with Pre-Ballet II or Level A. No prior dance experience needed.
Level A (age 7+): In Level A, students begin basic barre work as they begin exposure to the structure of a classical ballet class that then progresses into the center where we work on expanding our vocabulary of the French ballet terms and their translations, through such movements as jumps, turns, and balances. These goals are paired with instruction in proper body placement, muscle development, flexibility and foundations in classical ballet technique. Students also receive basic instruction in rhythm, counting and tempo of music (with an emphasis on classical ballets). This class is sometimes combined with Preliminary. No prior dance experience needed.
Age requirements are as of September 1, 2024 for the Fall 2024 & Spring 2025 sessions.
