Ballet 103
Demesha Hale
Placement only!
Dancers must have reached Intermediate/Advance level and have been taking 2-3 ballet/repertory classes a week for at least one year and be at least 11 years of age. For the safety of the dancer, teacher recommendation is required for pointe shoes and they are looking for dancers with strong cores and ankle strength and dancers who are able to hold their ballet placement at barre and center.
This advanced course will offer complex barre combinations and center with an emphasis on clarity and precise execution. The course will re-evaluate movements previously learned and provide complexity to challenge the student’s technique. It will also reiterate alignment, technique, stamina, artistry and musicality. Additionally, students will continue to learn classical variations, which challenge them individually.
