Training continues to increase in difficulty and much emphasis is placed on artistry and quality. Pointe work is continued to be 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 6 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 who want to be on the Partnering rotation must attend at least 4 technique classes and one pointe class per week. Students with aspirations for a professional career or to continue dance beyond high school are encouraged to enroll in 5+ technique classes and multiple pointe classes per week as well as elective classes and variations and/or partnering if offered.
