About this class

Ages 12-17

Recreational

Dancers enter a more advanced stage of their ballet training, marked by increased technical complexity, artistic refinement, and a deeper understanding of ballet principles. Recreational dancers at this level study RAD Grade 5 classes, as well as non-syllabus ballet classes. If dancers wish to begin an intensive training program, they must apply for Level 1 of the Ballet Intensive Program which begins at the Grade 5 level.

Ballet Intensive Program, Level 1

The Ballet Intensive Program is a scholarship-based curriculum, offering dedicated and promising students the opportunity to engage in weekly classes covering classical ballet, contemporary dance, and Progressing Ballet Technique. With augmentations from the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) ballet syllabus, faculty expertise, and a keen understanding of the evolving demands of the dance profession, the BIP is dedicated to delivering high-quality dance education at a significantly reduced cost. Admission to the BIP is exclusively through audition and acceptance. Strict physical criteria and a high level of technical proficiency are prerequisites. The program involves classes that may span up to five days per week
