About this class

Ages 7-12

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 must take all Grade 5 classes available. 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

Admission to the BIP is exclusively through audition and acceptance. Strict physical criteria and a high level of technical proficiency are prerequisites.
