Beginning Ballet III

The culminating class of our beginning ballet program builds upon the prior levels to produce dancers with a balance between the technical and artistic elements of ballet. Beginning Ballet III dancers integrate their arms, legs, head positions with artistic expressions in all movements to produce a strong quality of dancing. Before graduating to the next level of our program, these students must exhibit a consistent understanding of the material from the prior levels and have a degree of mental focus and physical technique that will allow them to join our advanced ballet program safely. Performance opportunities include the winter recital and the annual recital in the spring.
Prior to students graduating to the Junior level of our program, a strong understanding and demonstration of the skills learned at the Beginning Ballet level must be exhibited to their teachers. 

Movements introduced: all prior elements, as well as:  preparation for pirouette, passe en releve, frappe en croix with sur le coup de pied, battement frappe, cambres, pique turns with spotting, pas de bourree, waltz step turning, pas de basque par terre, temps lie forward and back, echappes on releve, travelling jete.
