At this level, the execution of all fundamental movements is carried through with finishing touches to reach the perfection of classical dance. The accompanying tempo picks up speed, in comparison with the preceding lessons. Class load increases to prepare students for a professional or college setting, and students will be expected to wear pointe shoes 5 days a week. Conditioning is combined into every technique class, ranging from the first 15 minutes to a full half hour.
Students in this level may also have the opportunity to perform with our company in residence, Deos Contemporary Ballet, in occasional performances.
