MIDDLE SCHOOL DANCE PROGRAM
Our middle school program has two levels, Dance I and Dance II. Both levels have a concentration in classical ballet, complemented by courses in modern and contemporary techniques. Throughout the year, we also offer workshops designed specifically for our middle school students. Held on Saturdays, these all-day intensives give our students the opportunity to work with guest artists and to experience other styles of dance.
​
Middle School students participate in our Fall Showing, an informal demonstration of work done in the first semester. Students are also invited to audition for our Spring Showcase. Auditions are in January and rehearsals take place after school.
​
At the middle school level, students are working on building a strong technical foundation in preparation for the more advanced coursework they will do in high school. This includes a developed sense of turnout and port de bras, proper placement and alignment, upper and lower body coordination, strength, stamina, creativity, and versatility.
