Ballet Level 2 students (usually age 8 or older) begin learning the concepts of alignment and rotation as well as simple exercises to reinforce these concepts. French vocabulary and English translations are used in class and the students are expected to memorize the dance vocabulary as well as the theories of movement related to feet and arms, body positions, movements in dance, and be able to identify the numbering system for the walls and corners of a dance space. There is heavy focus on posture, alignment and placement of the feet to insure proper development for the upper levels and to prepare for pointe work. This is the “Phonics Level” of academic ballet. It is technically demanding for the beginner student and not at all an easy level to master. It takes a lot of work and perseverance but, in the end, it can produce a well-balance, centered, strong, and graceful beginning dancer. This level takes at least two (2) years to master.
Dancers can register for this class after passing Ballet Level 1 Technique or by invitation from the director or instructor.
