For Ballet 2 through 5 students, Progressing Ballet Technique is a body conditioning and strengthening class focusing on core strength, weight placement and alignment of the body. This class is a great addition to any technique class.

A wonderful class for ages 10 to 18. Not only will we work on jazz technique, contemporary and improvisation, but also stage presence and confidence. The students will have opportunities to choreograph on themselves and on their peers.
