ballet level 4
Ages 10+ | by placement by October 1
Ballet Level 4 students deepen their understanding of ballet fundamentals and the level of commitment required for excellence. Barre and center work combinations
become more advanced as students work on sequences, transition steps, and stamina. Students are assessed for pointe
work, and, depending on individual progression and
development, are given the opportunity to begin work en pointe in the second semester.
Males enrolled in Ballet Level 4 receive specialized training tailored to the unique needs of ballet technique in male dancers. Students continue to work on ballet
fundamentals emphasizing clarity in positions and core and back strength as they learn the foundations for virtuosic technique in male dancers.
Jazz and Modern Dance are included in Ballet Level 4 curriculum as essential forms of dance required to develop well rounded
dancers.
Levels 4 and 5 Jazz will give students a thorough grounding in jazz terminology and technique while giving them an opportunity to grow as
performers. Students will use this technical base to explore a variety of jazz styles, including classical, musical theater, jazz funk and lyrical/contemporary. Levels 4 and 5 Modern will
introduce techniques of Limon, Horton and Graham as students begin to explore composition and improvisation. All Jazz and Modern classes culminate with a showcase performance in
May.
Students in this level are eligible to participate in Colorado Ballet Academy’s Youth America Grand Prix and Denver Ballet Guild
programs.
