About Level 1.

Ages 7-8

Level 1 begins our General Program and focuses on learning correct body alignment, further developing musicality and rhythm, and increasing strength, flexibility, and balance. Students are evaluated through observation, checking for understand­ing, in-class activities to demonstrate learning, and discussion.  A more formal approach and technical structure is applied to classes as the students mature and gain technical prowess. Our Level 1 classes run September to June.

Students in Level 1 must take the Base Program ballet in order to be eligible to take the following Add-On Classes:

Level 1 Add-On Classes:

Jazz: Students may choose to add the Level 1 Jazz class, which expands their dance vocabulary and accelerates rhythm and expression.

Ballet/Jazz Combo: New to the 2021-22 dance season are our Ballet/Jazz Combo classes. Students at the Level 1 age are eligible to take our Ballet/Jazz Combo class (ages 6-7). This 45 minutes class will be a fun, fast-paced combo class. Students will begin with 20-25 minutes of ballet, followed by 20-25 minutes of jazz.
