Our intermediate / Int-Adv. level classwork builds on all of the foundational technique and focuses on phrasing, clarity, proper articulation of the foot, and proper development of epaulment, as well as increasing technical proficiency & difficulty of turns, allegro (jumps) and preparedness for pointe and performance.  A placement class evaluation is required for new/incoming students.

Recommend class schedule is designed to expose our students to a variety of class levels and teachers to help master and refine skills, instill confidence and challenge our students whilst preparing them for Intensives and Workshops.
