Primary Ballet- This is an introductory class to the ballet technique which includes barre and center work. The class will focus on turning out, stretching, coordination, and spatial awareness. The goal of Ballet I is to instill the fundamentals of classical ballet. Basic ballet technique, proper body alignment, French terminology, and musicality are all very important aspects of the classical ballet technique.

Ballet I/II- This class will build upon the previous level and include more advanced stretching and strengthening exercises. The dancers will be introduced to more extensive barre work and continue to learn the proper vocabulary and terminology. This class will also continue to develop the center floor work with additional focus on the positions of the arms, legs and feet. Musicality is also emphasized in this class along with balance and coordination through the strengthening of the body core.

Ballet III/IV- Requirements: Minimum of 2-3 years of ballet training is required at this level. This class will continue to focus on positions of the arms and legs, in addition to introducing directions of the body and increased movement vocabulary. In Ballet III, the dancers will begin to focus on the extension of the legs, learning to work on movement sequences, and continue to work on balance. Pirouettes and grande allegro are introduced and students will work on barre and center work that focuses on repetition and retention. ​

Ballet V/VI/VII - Requirements: Minimum 3-4 years of ballet training is required at this level. In Ballet V and VI, dancers will be challenged with more complex combinations at the barre and center. This class will focus on pirouettes, petite and grande allegro, and continue to work on the extension of legs. 

Pre-pointe: classes are offered to ballet students who are not yet on pointe, but are working towards being on pointe. This class helps the dancer to further develop and strengthen the muscles necessary to go en pointe. The class will stress correct alignment and correct classical ballet technique. Each dancer will go en pointe at their own pace and only dancers who the instructor knows are ready will be allowed to purchase pointe shoes. 

Pointe: Pointe classes are designed for students with previous ballet training. Students will utilize previously learned ballet technique while working in pointe shoes. Each class includes barre exercises, center floor work and across the floor combinations. These exercises focus on strengthening the feet and ankles.
