BEGINNING ADULT BALLET

INTERMEDIATE ADULT BALLET
Ages 16+
This class continues to build on the information learned in Beginning Adult Ballet. Students should have 2 to 4 years of continuous training and teacher recommendation. In adage movements, instructors will be watching for the development of weight placement over the forefoot of the supporting leg to facilitate correct turnout and strength. Single pirouettes should become refined and strong, and doubles will be introduced. Ballon in petit allegro should be cleanly established. Grand allegro will become refined.
ADVANCED ADULT BALLET
Ages 16+
Students should have 4+ years of continuous training and teacher recommendation. Adage work will concentrate on further developing strength and control of the trunk and pelvis. This control of the body’s core will be further called upon to perform the correct throwing action of the leg for a grand battement and in grand allegro. Double pirouettes should be easily attained at this level.
