LEVEL 1

OVERVIEW

Ages 7-8 (as of September 2025)

Level 1 classes focus 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.

Students in Level 1 must take the Base Program ballet (Thursday OR Saturday) 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 further develops rhythm and expression. This class is a performance class.

Fees for the months of September and June, as well as the Registration Fee are due at the time of registration. The remaining month's payments (October through to May) are charged on the 1st of each month.

Tuition is due in full at the time of registration. However, in an attempt to make tuition payments more convenient for families, VAB parents or students are eligible to arrange a monthly payment option with the school. These monthly payments are equally spread across 10 months, regardless of how many classes there are in each month. These payment methods are available only to families whose accounts are in good standing and who do not have a history of missed or NSF payments. Tuition owing from previous years or terms are payable before registration is permitted for the following year or before student can continue in the second term. You are not fully registered until payment has been set in place. This means a lump sum payment has been processed, monthly post-dated cheques or Pre-Authorized Debit has been submitted/set-up, and the post-dated payment for Recital Package fee has been submitted. Please contact the office if you have any questions.
