Students' Division

Students in the Student Division (SD) range from those experiencing ballet as a form of recreation and appreciation to those desiring to pursue a career in dance. Students ages eight through adult will enjoy the study of Classical Ballet, as well as the opportunity to explore other dance

disciplines through our enrichment division.

Each student progresses at their own rate. Therefore, level advancement is based on an individual basis. It is not uncommon for a student to spend more than one year in a particular level.
