Ballet 1 and Classical Modern 1
Ages 8 and older
Ballet students continue to develop basic ballet concepts and vocabulary, improving strength and coordination, and learning to build longer sequences of movement. Modern students continue to develop basic modern dance concepts, focusing on the use of body weight in movement, lowering into and pushing out from the floor, and exploring their creativity and artistic expression. Dancers may take modern or ballet, but are highly encouraged to take both for faster progress and more fun! Ballet 1A is for first-year ballet students, and Ballet 1B is for continuing ballet 1 students ages 9 and up.
