Upper
Division
(age 7-18)
In progressive levels,
students develop classical technique and artistry through barre
and center exercises. Professional training and a positive,
fun atmosphere go hand in hand. Students are carefully coached
as they refine their technique. The artist in each student is
also cultivated as students learn stories and choreography from
classical ballets, and create original dances. Some upper level
students will take a portion of their class on pointe. At the
instructor's discretion, students who have developed the necessary
strength and alignment and are an appropriate age will begin
pointe work. Pre-pointe students will take this portion of the
class on demi-pointe to strengthen their feet and legs for pointe.

week are required for Class III-VI.
