Ballet Program
A comprehensive training program following a four-level program to develop physical alignment and technique, strength and flexibility, musicality, and performance quality. Advancement through the program is based on a student's level of attendance, mastery of skills, dedication, and accomplishment, not on his or her age. Students may expect to spend two years mastering their art in each of the four levels offered:
Ballet Level A - basic
Ballet Level B - beginners
Ballet Level C - intermediate
Ballet Level D - advanced

Students who enroll at any level are required to attend all classes in that level. School attendance and make up policies apply.
