Is your young dancer, aged 10 to 12, ready to take their passion for dance to the next level?
This is a transitional phase, where dedication transforms into art and technique becomes more refined. This intermediate-level class is designed to deepen their knowledge of classical ballet and challenge students to reach their full potential.

What is the focus at this stage?
We move beyond the fundamentals and focus on refinement. The work becomes more demanding and rewarding, with an emphasis on:
- Barre and Center Technique: Executing more complex exercises at the barre and choreographic sequences in the center that develop strength, stamina, and precision of movement.
- Turns and Jumps (Allegro): Refining pirouette technique and introducing more elaborate jump sequences (petit and grand allegro).
- Musicality and Artistry: Work focused on musical interpretation, allowing the student to not just execute steps, but to dance with emotion and intention.
- Pre-Pointe Preparation: Introduction to specific foot and ankle strengthening exercises, preparing students who wish to (and are technically ready) for future pointe work.

Discipline That Becomes Passion
At this age, ballet becomes a powerful tool for development. Students learn the value of rigor, discipline, and perseverance, applying that dedication to an art form that strengthens their self-esteem and capacity for expression.

1. Is prior ballet experience required to join this class?
A: Yes, this is an intermediate-level class intended for students who already have a foundation in classical ballet. For new students, an assessment or trial class will be conducted to ensure proper placement.

2. At what age can one start using pointe shoes?
A: The introduction to pointe work is a highly individual technical decision that depends on each student's physical development and strength. It typically happens around the age of 12. This class focuses on the essential preparation exercises to ensure this transition is made safely in the future.

3. How many classes per week are recommended at this level?
A: For solid progress at this level, attending more than one class per week is often recommended. However, the class schedule will be adjusted to the students' needs and availability. Contact us to learn about the options.

4. Can my son (a boy) attend this class?
A: Absolutely. Classical ballet is extremely beneficial for developing strength, agility, and coordination in boys. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to participate.

5. What comes after this age group?
A: After the age of 12, students progress to the more advanced levels (corresponding to ages 13-17), where the technical work becomes even more complex and the classical repertoire is explored in greater depth.
