Our intermediate 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.

Ballet III & III-IV curriculum 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.
