Level 3
Fifth Grade and Up
Previous dance training is required. Students begin an expanded technical and production experience.
Level 4
Seventh Grade and Up
Previous training and instructor approval are required. Expectations increase in complexity, artistry, and consistency.
Level 5
High School
Advanced training and instructor approval are required. Students work with high expectations for technique and performance quality.
Full-Year Training and Pointe
Level 3/4 and Level 4/5 classes are full-year commitments. 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.
Ballet students may begin pointe work around Level 3 and age 11, depending on technical readiness, physical development, attendance, and teacher evaluation.

About Mixed-Level and Add-On Classes
Mixed-level classes such as Ballet 3/4 and Ballet 4/5 allow instructors to adapt skills and expectations to each dancer’s development and readiness.
Crew, lyrical hip hop, pointe, and pre-pointe classes may require concurrent enrollment in a corresponding foundational class. Read the class requirements carefully before registering.
