Student Division
The Student Division lays the groundwork for all future dance training. Classes are taught with a careful emphasis on proper posture and placement, thoughtful full-body coordination, and expressive performance quality as dancers advance through each progressive level.
Ballet
Ballet classes develop strength, flexibility, musicality, and grace while learning the foundational positions and the French ballet vocabulary. If recommended, a Cecchetti class qualifies as one of the required ballet classes for levels 2-5.
Student Division Ballet and Modern classes are designed to be two-year levels. This allows the students ample time to grow and learn with their peers who are working on similar skills while providing more available classes per week in times that suit their schedule.
