Ballet IIIA (1st year) and IIIB (2nd year)

Ballet Level III is the first time dancers are required to attend twice a week.  This level creates a bridge to assist a student’s transition from the recreational combo classes into a more structured class environment. They are introduced to an increased level of formal training consisting of barre and centre work. The posture, placement and comportment of classical ballet will be emphasized. The practice exercises introduced at this level for alignment, flexibility, and coordination will develop a strong foundation of physical and cognitive understanding necessary for Classical Ballet training. This class will automatically perform in DDC’s annual holiday production, “A Gift for Emma,” as well as the year end Recital Showcase.
