Class Experience

In this structured, once-a-week course, we will develop a stronger understanding of intermediate ballet barre combinations and techniques using a mix of classical ballet accompaniments and instrumental variations of popular hit songs. This class is designed as a follow-along through observation and physical application.

Dancers will practice concentration and endurance building techniques through progressive lesson plans that rotate each month to become more proficient in fundamental movements. Ballet III offers a structured approach to emphasize mannered studies for determined dancers.

In this intermediate level, we work on furthering the development of musicality, hip rotation, and integrate a smooth carriage of the arms. Barre combinations will become more detailed than Ballet II while introducing quick-paced tempos, sustained balances, and a repertoire of jumps and turns in preparatory form. 

Each class will consist of:
• Introduction/Warm-Up
• Barre
• Stretching
• Center Floorwork
• Reverence

-----

If your dancer is brand new to ballet or not quite ready, head over to "Movement Academy: Ballet I" or "Movement Academy: Ballet II" to get started! 
The differences between the Ballet levels Intro, I, II, and III are based on the level of detail required to execute proper ballet technique and the complexity of combinations.  The higher the level, the more serious and structured the class.

Learning Goals

This class is designed to build upon the fundamentals of ballet barre work and build control through body awareness. Ballet is one of the fundamentals of dance to create a well-rounded dancer - it helps build control, muscle tone, and musicality. The recommended time in Ballet III is a minimum of two (2) years before advancing - unless assessed otherwise.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
I have been studying dance for 25 years and am a firm believer that ballet sets dancers up for success! Ballet teaches dancers control, precision, and self-discipline while providing both physical fitness and mental stimulation. I love how calming and poetic this discipline is while building confident dancers for life.
