BALLET LEVELS: Ballet 1 - Ballet 5

We offer five 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 proficiency, not age, so sometimes 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 each level.  As dancers advance, they will spend more time in each level.
Level 1
​Dancers in Level 1 classes will be required to attend a ballet class that meets one time, one hour per week.  Multiple class sessions of ballet are offered on different days. Dancers may choose any one session that suits their schedule.
​Additionally, dancers may add on supplemental classes. Students in Level 1 classes will perform in the end of year Recital.
