(Ages 8+ by placement) Students are invited to Ballet Level 2 once they have demonstrated full understanding of the concepts covered in Ballet 1. Body alignment, muscle awareness, and focus most heavily impact progress in ballet technique. Ballet Level 2 students explore expanded skills in the fundamentals of ballet technique, proper body alignment, French terminology, musicality, and imaginative artistry while increasing movement, strength, and flexibility. 

Ballet Level 2 students attend class twice per week for two hours. Class curriculum includes ballet technique, stretch and condition, and music for dancers.  

The Level 2 music program will teach students a basic understanding of music as it applies to ballet dancers and foster an appreciation and love for the music that is the driving force behind ballet. Students will become familiar with different time signatures and different rhythms such as waltz, mazurka, polka, and gallop. They will learn what a musical preparation to an exercise is and how to count it, as well as how to count the different dance rhythms. Classical ballet music repertoire such as Tchaikovsky, Chopin, and Adam will be introduced, and students will begin to understand which music is appropriate for an adagio as opposed to a tendu or petit allegro.
