Grade 3 to Senior Extension Ballet

Extend your ballet technique and performance skills

This class offers students the chance to enhance their performance skills and deepen their knowledge of classical ballet repertoire. The lesson is divided into three key segments:

  1. Flexibility, Anatomy, and Conditioning (~30 minutes):
    Focus on improving flexibility, strength, and body awareness, with practical anatomical knowledge to support technique.
  2. Classical Repertoire (~20 minutes):
    Students learn a selection of classical ballet pieces from renowned ballet works, each chosen to align with their current level of technique and progress.
  3. Cooldown (~10 minutes):
    The class concludes with a full-body cooldown, emphasizing the importance of recovery and injury prevention.
