Ballet 5

Technique continues to build and increase in difficulty. Some pointe work is introduced by permission of the Artistic Director only after the student has demonstrated proper maturity, precision in technique, and acquired sufficient strength in legs, ankles, and feet. Ballet 5A & 5B students are expected to take a minimum of 3 technique classes and one pointe class (for students en pointe) per week, plus an elective. Students with aspirations for a professional career or to continue dance beyond high school are encouraged to enroll in 4+ technique classes as well as elective classes.
