This level requires two weekly classes, although three classes per week can help your kids advance faster. Prerequisites include completion of Grade III or a placement assessment, demonstrating a solid grasp of ballet technique and terminology. The curriculum emphasizes mastery of positions and introduces complex barre exercises integrating multiple movements. Across-the-floor sequences emphasize expression and artistry, with advanced jumps and a gradual introduction to pointe work for eligible students.

At this level, students also attend two classes per week, although we recommend three classes per week. Prior completion of Grade II or a placement evaluation is required, along with a basic understanding of ballet technique and terminology. The curriculum focuses on refining positions and introducing more complex barre combinations. Center work mirrors barre techniques, while across-the-floor sequences become more challenging, emphasizing jumps with increased height and precision.

Students attend two classes weekly at this level. They focus on learning traditional barre exercises with precision and age-appropriate techniques. These foundational exercises smoothly transition into center floor work, connecting barre techniques with center movements. Under teacher guidance, students refine technique, musicality, and collaboration skills, while also emphasizing ballet etiquette and incorporating conditioning exercises for overall strength and flexibility.

Although still an introductory class, we recommend that students attend twice a week to better prepare for advancement. Here, students explore a wider range of age-appropriate ballet fundamentals. They refine turnout, positioning, coordination, and spatial awareness. Through collaborative learning, students reinforce ballet etiquette and begin basic strength and flexibility training.

This class serves as an introductory level for beginners, with one class per week. No prior experience is necessary. Students focus on developing body awareness, coordination, and musicality through creative self-expression. Our instructors emphasize cooperation, respect, and basic ballet etiquette while introducing age-appropriate ballet terminology.
