Ballet I (ages 3-4 years)

An introduction to movement! Students will develop body awareness and coordination, explore movement quality and musicality, and discover creative self-expression. Teachers will work with students to develop cooperation and respect for self and others. Students will learn the basics of ballet class etiquette. Classes are taught with a focus on the joy of movement. Age-appropriate basic ballet terminology is introduced.

Ballet II (ages 6 to 8 years)

Ballet II introduces an expanded age-appropriate repertoire of ballet fundamentals. Students will begin to learn correct execution of turnout and placement in basic positions; continue to develop their coordination; and focus on age-appropriate spatial and body awareness. Students will work cooperatively with the teacher and their classmates, continue to learn ballet class etiquette, and begin working on strength and flexibility with simple conditioning exercises. Ballet II is a two-year program to prepare students for the introduction of barre work in Ballet III.

Ballet III (ages 9 to 11 years)

Ballet III students will begin to learn the traditional barre exercises in a technically sound and age-appropriate manner. Barre exercises transfer to the center floor work where students begin to connect what they learn at the barre with the movements they will be executing in the center. Teachers guide students to develop a greater awareness of technique, musicality, and dancing with others to create a performance. Ballet class etiquette is reinforced. Conditioning exercises are included in classwork to increase strength and flexibility. Ballet III is a two-year program designed to prepare students for Ballet IV and girls for beginner pointe work.

Ballet IV (ages 13 to 16 years)

Students have now learned the foundation of barre exercises and will begin slowly increasing the complexity with a focus on proper technical execution. Sound technical fundamentals continue to be a priority. Girls will begin introductory pointe work at the discretion of the faculty. Basic pointe work includes learning how to prepare the shoes for dancing and developing strength in the feet, ankles, legs, core and upper body with exercises on two feet facing the barre. When students are ready, they will begin simple center work with releves (rises on to full pointe) on two feet. Pointe classes are introduced at 15 minutes and increase in length and frequency in subsequent years as students gain strength for more complex movements. Ballet IV is a two-year program to prepare for Ballet V.

Ballet V (ages 12 years and up with a minimum 2-5yrs of training)

Students should have a good understanding of the proper execution of turn out, placement and port de bras (carriage of the arms). Teachers will continue to increase the complexity of exercises and introduce new material while focusing on correct technique and coordination. Girls will increase the length and frequency of their pointe classes with a focus on building strength and learning fundamental and age-appropriate pointe steps from the classical repertoire. Preparations for turns on pointe are introduced.  In addition, students should also be ready for increasingly complex work. Teachers guide students to develop their artistry. Girls will have developed the strength needed to execute increasingly challenging pointe work. Boys will focus on developing strength to execute tours, pirouettes and jumps in the male classical repertoire.

Ballet VI (ages 14 and up)

Ballet VI is the highest level for advanced dancers.Teachers prepare students for the most challenging work in the classical repertoire, with a focus on correct technique and artistry.
