Intermediate Ballet - 2 classes per week.

As a first year intermediate dancer, building muscle memory with a twice a week class propels dancers into a huge year of learning. Second and third year classroom work involves learning new steps at a rapid pace building on muscle memory from the Beginning Ballet years.  Students develop a critical eye while being introduced to pirouettes and next level jumps with an ever growing understanding of their entire body. Preparation for pointe work begins during year 3 during a longer class time.
