Level 1

Ages 6+: Focus on Foundation

Level 1 is the starting point for new dancers of all ages.

Your dancer will solidify the foundation of their technique here. Dancers of all stages and ages grow their mind-body connection and get familiar with evergreen ideas that will accompany them through their entire journey in dance and beyond.

Young dancers who will turn 6 before the completion of their first spring semester may be considered in an audition-based process.

Level 1 Schedule
Ballet dancers practicing in a dance studio, with a ballet barre on the wall and shelves with books and equipment in the background.

Level 2/3

Age 10+: Accents and Artistry

Level 2/3 combine to flex and accommodate the needs of a evolving ballet student. By utilizing progressions that “just make sense”, developing artists are able to subconsciously recall and maintain their foundation while building their movement vocabulary and exploring new levels of artistry and expression.

Dancers who have 2+ years of experience will be considered in an audition-based process.

Level 2/3 Schedule
A ballet dancer practicing outdoors near trees on a paved path, wearing a black leotard and pointe shoes, striking a graceful pose.

Pre-Pointe + Pointe

Age 11+: New Heights

By approval only, dancers will move into a season of specially tailored strength training to season their muscle memory. Pre-pointe specifically prepares the bodies and mind for transferring well understood concepts into a new modality, one that is equally challenging and inspiring.

Dancers will go through an extensive process of evaluation before beginning pointe work, and may only enroll after being approved by faculty.
