Current R.O.A.D scholars

Elevated expectations meet your child as they enter Level 2 R.O.A.D. 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. Level 2 R.O.A.D. students will take part in Evaluation classes in the spring semester to determine their placement for the following year.
