Enrichment

Enrichment needs two days per week of ballet technique. This is strongly encouraged for level I, and mandatory for level’s II and III. Modern technique class is recommended as an elective and a third day of ballet required to pursue dancing en pointe.

Enrichment is designed for students in 1st grade - adult, who want to expand and enhance their knowledge of ballet as well as other dance forms. Although ballet training remains the core of this track, it is the goal of this division to expose dancers to a variety of dance genres, not limiting them by the strict physical requirements that classical pointe work demands. 

Although they will be exposed to pre-pointe work, they may discover that their strength and ability as a dancer is found in other styles of dance. Modern Dance Techniques, Jazz, Pilates, Character, and Neoclassical Ballet are now offered as electives, after the commitment to ballet foundations.

Youth Ensemble Repertoire is now offered for those committed to both ballet and modern classes in Level III. 

Students are placed in these classes by faculty recommendation.

Electives are highly recommended.

The Intensive Division training can be rigorous and is geared towards those who exhibit the physical attributes and serious work ethic that would allow them to excel in both classical ballet technique and pointe work. Students are placed in these classes by faculty recommendation. 

Our intensive division is designed for students ages 11 - 17, to build upon the Enrichment Division’s technical foundations & prepare them for the pre-professional experience.

While the immersive, rigorous training is continually challenged week to week throughout the year; the program’s monthly integrations of contemporary electives are meant to enhance the development of muscle memory through cross conditioning and intuitive movement in the well-rounded-dancer.
