Ballet Levels
We offer six levels of Ballet classes. At higher levels the class duration increases to meet the specific needs of that level. More advanced dancers need more training at longer intervals to increase endurance. Progression is based on skill mastery, not age, so sometimes students will progress faster or slower. When a dancer begins Ballet 1 it is normal for them to spend two or more years at a level. As dancers advance, they will spend more time in each level.
Ballet 1 -Offered Monday or Thursday (meets once a week)
This class meets one hour per week and is for students who do not also wish to take jazz. Students work toward mastering basic ballet skills to provide a strong foundation. Students may opt to also enroll in Beginning Tap.
