In Level 5 dancers will build upon their strong technique foundation to start to focus on the artistry of ballet. Dancers will connect storytelling into their dancing as they learn classical ballet variations and how they fit into the larger scale corps de ballet roles.
Pointe work is expected from all Level 5 students 3 times a week to continue to grow in strength and ability. Dancers in this level may also have the opportunity to dance small roles with our professional company-in-residence, Deos Contemporary Ballet.
