At this level, dancers are introduced to pas de deux, often participate in competitions, and are encouraged to take on deeper artistic challenges such as character interpretation and solo performance.

Students build confidence in all major steps and movement qualities expected of a well-rounded ballet dancer. They work toward retrieving the same technical clarity on pointe as on demi-pointe, while learning to modulate their energy — from soft and fluid to sharp and explosive.
