Level 1-4 Ballet

Ballet instruction at CDM utilizes the Vagonova technique. Characterized by grace, precision, and strength, ballet is the foundation of all other styles of dance. Throughout our 4 levels of ballet, the focus is on building strength, balance, and flexibility. All classes follow a similar structure of barre work, center floor exercises, and across the floor, locomotive combinations. The weekly requirements vary by level (see below) to allow the different levels to work both individually and in different groupings with other levels.  (Ages 8 and up)

​

Level 1--1 ballet class per week-1 hour

Level 2--1 ballet class per week-1 hour

Level 3--1 ballet class per week-1 hour

Level 4--2 ballet classes per week-1 hour and 1.5 hours

*Pre-Pointe and Pointe classes are organized according to age and ability*
