Preparatory Program
The Preparatory Program consists of Preparatory Dance, and Ballet I and Modern I where students continue to expand their dance vocabulary and strengthen their awareness of movement within the ballet and modern dance techniques. Students in this program may participate in the Rite of Spring and The Steadfast Tin Soldier if they are able to meet the mandatory rehearsal requirements. Students in the Preparatory Program take a minimum of one class per week, and students in Level 1 are encouraged to take both Ballet and Modern.

Ballet I and Classical Modern I
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, creativity and expression, and building longer phrases of movement together. Dancers may take Modern or Ballet, but are highly encouraged to take both for faster progress and more fun! The Saturday class is offered to supplement Wednesday classes, or as an alternative for dancers wishing to study both Modern and Ballet but unable to do one or both of the Wednesday classes.
