Intermediate 11-19

Intermediate dancers will carry a rigorous course load consisting of ballet technique, and other dance disciplines. Classes for this level meet five days a week.

Intermediate dancers will be introduced to more advanced vocabulary, growing in both artistry and technique. Classes will require increased stamina, flexibility, intellectual awareness, and personal commitment. Ladies will have pointe class four days a week. Gentlemen in this level will have a men’s class once a week, in addition to their usual technique classes. Students should expect two consecutive years of study, at minimum, for completion of the Intermediate Level.

Protective styles are welcome and encouraged as needed for your hair type and care routine, with the shared goal of keeping hair secured and away from the face. To ensure the safety and focus of all dancers, we kindly ask that decorative accessories—such as scrunchies, flowers, bows, and beads—not be worn during class.
