Ballet Level 2 Information

Young ballet dancers will build a foundation in classical ballet. Students in this group are not new to ballet and are growing their dance foundation. Students stretch, learn new dance vocabulary, how to work together, focus on technique and how to channel their passion for dance. At the end of each class, we write in dance journals to record details to help remember new choreography, positions and expressions. Dancers listen to classical music while taking ballet barre and centre. We are an inclusive family of dancers and encourage students ages 7 - 12 to join us.

Level 2 has two different programs. Please see the details below because the tuition pricing and schedule is different. These are the age groups typical of our levels.
