Level 4X

Upon placement into Level 4X, students are expected to show emotional maturity in moving through technically challenging movements. Focus is placed on coordination of arm movements with the added intensity of the curriculum. As the level of difficulty increases, so does the pursuit of excellence. It is at this level that students often determine that they may wish to pursue a career in dance or increase their class load. Students in the 4X track will experience more classically inclined classes and must demonstrate strength in their pointe work at both the barre and in center work. Supplemental classes in conditioning, variations, and added pointe work help round out their curriculum and better prepare them for advancement toward a professional career in dance.

Level 5X

Students at this level can expect to train 4 days a week in ballet curriculum as well as other dance genres: jazz, modern, contemporary, and conditioning. The curriculum provides students with the necessary training for a professional dance career or entry into a college dance program.  Level 5X dancers can expect the difficulty, length of exercise, and number of repetitions to increase.  Students in the 5X track will experience more classically inclined classes and must demonstrate strength in their pointe work at both the barre and in center work, specifically with respect to turns and jumps on pointe.  Excellence becomes more challenging as complexity increases. Given the amount of material, students may need multiple years in Level 5X to master the necessary components.
