Advanced

Advanced Level dancers will build upon intermediate level technique and artistry in ballet and other dance disciplines. Classes for this level meet five days a week.

Advanced dancers will continue to broaden their knowledge base, growing in both artistry and technique. Dancers are expected to demonstrate an increase in self-discipline and motivation. They will be responsible for retention of material and attention to corrections in order to fulfill required technical standards. Ladies will have pointe class four days a week. Gentlemen in this level will have a men’s class twice per week, in addition to their usual technique classes.
