All students participate in three to four classes daily, with primary emphasis on classical ballet. The curriculum is enriched by a wide range of supplementary classes, including pointe or pre-pointe, variations*, pas de deux*, musical theatre, character, modern, jazz, contemporary, Pilates mat, dance history and terminology, acting, music, choreography, and specialized workshops. There is an option to add an additional class in the evening as well.
*Offered to advanced levels only
Classes are offered Monday through Friday, with students scheduled for three to four classes per day based on level placement. This intensive program provides a valuable opportunity for focused, in-depth technical development through a cumulative course of study. Students planning to attend for two weeks only are strongly encouraged to enroll in the first two weeks, as the curriculum is designed to build progressively.
