Primary
Ballet
Designed to build a solid foundation from which future development both as a dancer and individual can emerge, the overarching principles of the primary level are to learn proper ballet class etiquette, positioning of the body, musicality, and coordination.
Offered 1 - 2 times per week, class is 1 hour long.
Level One
Dancers are introduced to barre work with more emphasis placed on turn-out and position of the arms. Level 1 classes resemble and follow the historical and physically effective format of a traditional ballet class from barre exercises to center where movement through space becomes more codified and structured.
Offered 2 times per week, students interested in moving up to Level 2 should consider taking both Level 1 classes as well as Jazz 1.
Beginning Jazz
Flash, sizzle, and pop, Beginning Jazz introduces and explores the steps and phrases that make up this dynamic and popular technique.
Offered once a week, it is recommended that dancers take either Primary or Level 1 in addition to Jazz to help establish technique and advance skills.
