Ballet IV & V



Ballet IV will take the young dancer through "connecting" steps and stress correct placement and port de bras.  A special Pointe Prep class will prepare feet and legs for pointe work.  In Ballet V the dancers learn long movement phrases to enhance musicality and stamina.  Pointe work is introduced to ladies who have developed sufficient strength.  Modern and Jazz classes continue to form a well-educated dancer.  A schedule of 3-5 classes per week is common; students beginning pointe work must take at least two ballet classes in addition to their pointe class.  All pointe classes must be preceded by a ballet class.
