Advanced Training With Purpose
Levels 5–6 are designed for experienced high-school dancers ready to deepen their technique, artistry, consistency, and performance skills. Students are challenged as individuals while learning to contribute to the strength of the entire program.
These dancers are also leaders within Weehawken. Through classes, rehearsals, performances, partnering, and work with younger students, they develop responsibility, confidence, collaboration, and the ability to support the people around them.
Level 5
High School · Typically Grades 9–10
Advanced training with increased expectations for technical consistency, artistry, preparation, and performance quality. Prior training and instructor approval are required.
Level 6
High School · Typically Grades 11–12
Our most advanced level, with high expectations for technique, maturity, artistry, leadership, rehearsal preparation, and contribution to the ensemble.
Placement and Approval
All Level 5 and Level 6 classes require instructor approval. Placement is based on training, technical readiness, maturity, consistency, and the needs of each dancer—not age or grade alone.
If you are unsure whether your dancer has been approved for a class, please contact the instructor before registering. Our team is happy to help determine the best placement.
A Full-Year Training and Performance Commitment
Level 5–6 classes run for the complete 29-week school year. These classes began in the fall and continue through spring. New dancers may be able to join with instructor approval; tuition is prorated for those joining midyear.
Each class prepares one dance for each production. Upper-level dancers perform their class dances in multiple shows and should expect a more involved production schedule than younger students.
Level 5–6 dancers should also plan for Sunday production rehearsals in Montrose, particularly as productions approach. Exact rehearsal schedules will be communicated during the semester.
Weekly Class Schedule
Choose a day to see classes. Montrose follows the spring working schedule; Ridgway classes are carried over from fall, with other instructors’ spring schedules awaiting confirmation.

Mixed-Level, Add-On and Pointe Classes
Mixed-level classes such as Ballet 4+, Ballet 5/6, and Pointe 4/5/6 allow instructors to provide appropriate challenges based on each dancer’s training and readiness.
Lyrical Hip Hop is an add-on class and requires concurrent enrollment in Hip Hop 5 or Hip Hop 6.
Pointe classes are non-performing technique classes and require concurrent enrollment in the corresponding ballet class and instructor approval. Learn more about pointe requirements.
Joining a Full-Year Class
These classes began in the fall and continue through spring. New dancers may be able to join with instructor approval, and tuition will be prorated for those joining midyear. Contact Lexi for placement, availability, and your tuition amount.
