This class is an introductory class where students can discover the joy and excitement through movement and music. The class begins with conditioning, stretching, and strengthening exercises. They will learn patterning, and will have opportunities in each class where they dance alone, and in a group. They will gain musical awareness and spatial orientation. Basic Ballet vocabulary and class etiquette are introduced. It is important to us that Creativity and Imagination are incorporated into each exercise to keep these young ballerinas engaged throughout class.

Students will use the ballet barre, and will learn ballet vocabulary. Body placement and alignment will be discovered. Class etiquette is part of the classroom practice and expectation. This class focuses on Musicality and how movements correspond with the music. Small jumps and exercises across the floor will be practiced to build strength and endurance. Level II is split into Basic and Accelerated groups depending on the students dance experience. An evaluation by one of our faculty will determine which Level II group your child should attend.The class more closely follows the structure of a ballet technique class.
