GIRLS ONLY. Ages 10+. This hybrid class was uniquely created to challenge older ballet dancers to grow at a more advanced pace.

Dancers will be encouraged to grow at their individual level and as a team. Emphasis will be on improving dance ability in preparation to advance to Ballet 3. Each girl will need pink ballet flats, tights and a solid black leotard. Hair must be in a bun each class period. Bring a water bottle. Material fee is for recital costume and covers the entire year. PLEASE NOTE: This class is a ONE year (fall and winter semester) long commitment. There will only be ONE recital and the end of the WINTER semester in May 2017. Dancers must be age 10 by the end of September
