Pre Ballet through Ballet VI

The Recreational Ballet Student Division consists of Pre-Ballet through Ballet VI. The primary levels focus on formal ballet instruction while introducing basic ballet vocabulary, music concepts, and movement through engaging activities and exercises. The intermediate levels continue to lay the foundation of classical ballet training and prepare the students for the more demanding requirements of the ballet syllabus. The upper levels continue to build on the intermediate levels, and musicality and more complicated dance combinations are introduced. The Recreational Division has a structured syllabus and detailed objectives for each level. All Recreational Ballet Students advance according to individual progress in acquiring technique and strength.
