Session Description
GI These ballet classes provide an introduction to the world of ballet technique with a focus on alignment, form, and overall body strength. Concepts of posture and alignment, basic movement fundamentals, and coordination are all practiced in a supportive and well-paced environment. In this program, students take a minimum of one ballet class per week. Additional classes, such as jazz, character, contemporary, tap, and/or musical theatre are introduced as early as Level 2. Students must be taking ballet in order to add any additional styles of dance. Placement is determined by academic grade. For example, Level 2 dancers are in Grade 2 and do not need to have completed Level 1. Younger students attend 1-2 classes per week, gradually increasing to four classes per week by Level 5.
