Class Level Information and Schedules

Through excellent training, passionate dedication and sheer hard work, we aim to take our students' talents to create the mind, knowledge and technique of the best possible dancers they can and want to be.

• At this level, dancers’ skills are further refined and honed to meet the challenges of new and increasingly complex variations.
• Dancers become aware of their own individual strengths and how to use these to achieve their best artistic expression.
• At this age, many dancers will discover the path to more serious training and may be invited to join our Conservatory program.

Conservatory
• In conservatory, dancers perfect their ballet artistry and truly understand what it means to express themselves in ballet.
• Many strive for professional careers and will begin to compete at a serious level.
• Some participate for the joy of dancing.
• Others join to be part of the time honored tradition of being a dancer on stage. At this level dancers are cast in solos in our annual Nutcracker performance.
