Upper School Ballet
Placement for all levels in our upper school is by instructor approval only. These classes will concentrate more fully on ballet technique. At our academy we focus on graceful precision of movement, complex rhythms and patterns, proper body alignment, expression and musical interpretation. Each class will help dancers build strength, flexibility, coordination and balance, which will allow them to move to more advanced technique. In class dancers will work on adagio, pirouettes, use of the head and upper body, as well as the intricacies of small and large jumps. When appropriate, and at a time determined by the teacher, pointe work will be added for girls.
