Student Division

This division is for dancers who are developing their technique, artistry and knowledge of ballet vocabulary along with elective classes to supplement their ballet training.

NEW THIS YEAR:

Families will need to choose either the full set of ballet classes that are part of the Academy Track, or the single class offered through the Flex Track.

These two tracks are not interchangeable – mixing and matching between Academy and Flex Track classes will not be permitted due to curriculum design and scheduling logistics.

Each track has been carefully planned to support the progression and consistency of our dancers, and the schedules are set and will not be adjusted.

THE ACADEMY TRACK:

This program is for dancers who are ready for a serious and comprehensive training experience. Students in the Academy Track are required to take all classes designated for their specific level, ensuring a consistent and progressive development of their ballet technique and artistry.

If you choose Academy Track, your dancer will take ALL of the classes that are required for their growth and progression.

FLEX TRACK - 1 CLASS OPTION:

For families and dancers seeking a more flexible schedule or a less intensive commitment, our Flex Class is an excellent choice. This option allows students to take just one class per week, completely separate from the Academy's required classes. It still provides high-quality instruction from our experienced faculty, offering a strong foundation in ballet technique within a supportive and engaging atmosphere.

If you choose the Flex Track, your dancer will take ONE specific class for his/her level. Below you will see each option for your dancer’s level.
