Students are required to take the level 2 class at our main studios. This class further develops the classical technique, improves strength and flexibility, and prepares the students for their yearly grade examination and EOY productions.

Our classes do require a ballet uniform. Wearing an uniform ensures dancers are in safe and practical clothing for dancing, as well as puts them in the right mindset for Classical Ballet. See more for uniform requirements and our suppliers.
Grade Four examinations
The Grade Four level participates in Classical Ballet examination in a positive and supportive atmosphere, without fear or undue stress. Students will receive a certificate and report following their class examinations at the end of the third term.
Our End of Year (EOY) productions
At the end of the year, Level 2 students are encouraged to perform in our EOY productions! Our productions include fan-favourite ballet performances of The Nutcracker, Sleeping Beauty, Don Quixote, and more. All our students get the chance to dance alongside industry professionals and Youth Ballet WA students at the major theatres across Perth!
