Programs

Weekly Classes

Level 1

Ages 6+: Focus on Foundation

Level 1 solidifies the foundation of all things ACMI. Dancers of all stages and ages start here to grow their mind-body connection and get familiar with evergreen ideas that will accompany them through their entire journey in dance.

Level 2/3

Age 8+: 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.

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.
