Description:

Students must present themselves as eager and driven within the classroom setting. In adage movements, instructors will be watching for the development of weight placement over the forefoot of the supporting leg to facilitate correct turnout and strength. Double pirouettes should become refined and strong, and fouetté turns will become solid. Growing strength and control of the trunk and pelvis in adage work will develop into a security that facilitates higher leg extensions, grand battement, and grand allegro. Ballon in petite allegro will become refined, and pointework is expected at this level. Students will develop a sense of self-critique while also learning how to further their growth through conditioning and dance history.

Students will start this class as a Ballet 8, once they have proved their technical abilities after evaluation, students will continue as a Ballet 9 which will allow extra training privileges and complexity to exercises.
