Class Descriptions
| Ballet |
Designed for students with a sound foundation in ballet technique, this class focuses on maintaining correct placement while moving, and strengthening the abdominal core, back, and legs in all positions. |
| Pointe A |
Designed for students with one year or less of training in pointe shoes, this class refines placement and increases leg and foot strength with an emphasis on cross-training exercises and appropriate pointe work at the barre. School of Dance students enrolled in Beginning Pointe for 2011-12 should take this class. This class is also appropriate for students who have trained at other schools in Pre-Pointe shoes only. |
| Pointe B |
Designed for students with more than one year of training in pointe shoes, this class introduces multiple exercises away from the barre, and builds strength for single-leg exercises on pointe. |
| Jazz |
Students learn the basics of classical and contemporary jazz technique while improving rhythm, motor skills and flexibility. Class is set to upbeat, familiar music. |
| Modern |
Students explore various movement styles, spatial relationships and rhythmic patterns in a structured class environment. The class emphasizes development of core body strength, articulation of the spine, and personal expression. |
