This is a by invitation/audition only, Accelerated Ballet Program designed for students with the desire to further train in technical ballet. This program is catered toward dedicated students with the potential and desire to take their dancing to the next level. To be invited in this program, students must show exceptional focus, work ethic, leadership skills and promise. In this program students will be given a high quality dance education, with smaller class sizes, a meticulously tailored dance curriculum & goals, unique performance opportunities, and additional ballet competitions. Moreover, students will also receive guidance on various opportunities, such as summer programs, auditions, private coaching, master classes, ensuring comprehensive and well-rounded development to their training.

Our syllabus takes a very technical approach. For students who are possibly looking to be serious later, it is crucial for them to lay the building blocks now. Therefor we focus primarily on the development of their foundation, through strength building, consistency, and understanding of simple ballet principles, before moving into the more advanced levels. Ages 12 &up, will be focusing on pointe work, will be developing a more comprehensive movement vocabulary, and use of artistic qualities.

Students will be held to a high standard as they are ambassadors for this program, and therefor are expected to act as leaders in and outside of class, showing focus, hard work, and respect at all times. Students in this program are expected to remember corrections, topics, and experiences from their accelerated class. This program will teach them dedication, focus, discipline, independence, attention to detail, poise, responsibility, etc. that will last them a lifetime.

Students will have the opportunity to compete in prestigious events, including attending masterclasses, workshops, etc. Students in this program will compete at least one classical variation, and an optional contemporary solo.

Students ages 9-11 are highly recommended to take pre-pointe. Students ages 12+ must compete their ballet solo on pointe, and therefore must take pointe if they are looking to patriciate in the program and compete a ballet variation.

Students will be placed into different pointe levels depending on length of time and experience on pointe. Students who are still waiting to get their shoes, have just started on pointe, or still have more work to do on fundamentals will take the pre-pointe/Pointe 1 class, whereas students with more experience on pointe will take the pointe 2 class. Dancers looking to add extra pointe to their schedule are welcome to take both classes.
