Curriculum summary
Technique
Building on Level 1, students learn new movements at the barre, center, and in jumps (allegro). Dancers will continue to refine their technique and maintain proper posture and alignment throughout their movements.
Gymnastics and conditioning
Russian ballet training often includes floor exercises that focus on developing core strength and flexibility. These exercises include various types of stretches and strength-building drills that help dancers achieve the high level of physical fitness required for ballet.
Exams
Each year, we partner with Russian ballet schools to have our students assessed by a guest examiner. Students will receive certificates with personal feedback and also get a chance to take masterclasses with the guest teachers. Past notable examiners include Natalia Kremen, Vladimir Issaev, Evgeny Serdeshov and more
Ballet choreography
Students will learn simple choreography and dances that help integrate their technique with performance quality. Group dances from the classical ballet repertoire may be taught, such as from the Nutcracker.
Performance opportunities
Achieving milestones in ballet, such as performing in front of an audience, can ignite a child's love for dance and the arts. We encourage our students to participate in our class presentations, showcases and recitals, where they will experience the joy of performance.
