Ballet III (on Pointe) (11+)
The dancers are serious about increasing their repertoire of ballet steps and combinations as well as building their strength and stamina. Emphasis will be placed on polishing technique, body positions and stage placement. Classical and contemporary styles of ballet are presented. While there is an emphasis on Vaganova, other schools of thought will be incorporated. Dancers at this level must be taking technique class at least three times a week. Variations class may be added. At least 3 pointe classes are recommended for these dancers. The curriculum moves quickly and this class is meant for the focused and dedicated ballet dancer.

Tap IIB/III (Ages 11+)
Dancers at this level will work on increasingly complex combinations. Technique, executing combinations at different musical tempos and on different musical counts will be the theme.
