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 some students will progress faster or slower than their peers. 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.
