CLASSICAL BALLET PROGRAM, Ages 8-20

THE CLASSICAL BALLET PROGRAM CURRICULUM
The Classical Ballet Program provides young dancers with a comprehensive curriculum designed to provide a strong classical technique, adaptable to any style. The program is structured in three progressive levels – Elementary, Intermediate and Advanced – with all levels of the curriculum offered at each of our studio locations. Beyond the core curriculum, students may further supplement their studies with elective ballet classes as well as enrichment classes in other forms of dance, including jazz and Pilates. Pointe work is introduced to our female students at the Intermediate 2 level.

Unlike our Children's Program, enrollment in our Classical Ballet Program classes is based on placement, either through school year progress reports for current students or via a placement class for new students. Advancement through the Classical Ballet Program is based on the individual student's level of skill and accomplishment as well as his or her mental and physical readiness to progress as determined by the School's faculty and principals.

Multiple performing opportunities are available to our Classical Ballet Program students. The School will present an annual Spring Showcase at the Boston Center for the Arts' Cyclorama. Additionally, students in levels Intermediate 1 and above may choose to enroll in our Performing Groups at the MetroWest and South Shore studios. These non-audition groups meet once a week to learn and rehearse repertory to perform at various opportunities during the school year.
