Elevated expectations meet your child as they enter Level 2. Classes for this level meet twice a week for one and a half hours.
Steps previously introduced will evolve and incorporate different positions, patterning and coordination. Students will also continue to increase their ballet vocabulary. Gentlemen in this level will have a boys class once per week, in addition to their usual technique classes. Level 2 students will take part in Evaluation classes in the spring semester to determine their placement for the following year. Please select the section that best fits your family’s schedule.
