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.

Please call Emily at (508) 545-1257 to find the right class placement for your child and for scheduling and enrollment information. Students in Class I take one class per week. Class II students may elect one or two classes per week. Two-five classes per week are required for Class III-VI.
