Ballet Level 4 Class Details

Our most advanced dancers who are typically on path to dance professionally or in college. We incorporate professional dance company discipline and responsibility, hone our dance technique for classical and contemporary ballet. Students in this group typically have 12+ years of ballet training and are very passionate and driven when it comes to dance. We include more classical variations and contemporary works with modern and lyrical components and expose these students to as many guest artists as possible. Our instructors have been trained in Martha Graham techniques and have worked in professional dance companies. Dancers listen to classical and a wide variety of music genres while taking ballet barre, centre and variations.

We are an inclusive family of dancers and encourage students who succeed in Level 3 to advance to Level 4 when we see they're ready. Many of the Level 4 dancers are in the Saltmarsh Dance Company and give multiple performances throughout the year. Our Saltmarsh Dancers don't just love to dance, they NEED to dance and are passionate about it. We work hard together and enjoy expanding our musicality and fine tuning our craft.

Level 4 Tuition includes 3 Ballet classes; 2 Pointe classes and 2 Contemporary classes per week.
