Ballet 3 14yrs+

This Ballet 3 class will run September through April. Because of the progressive nature of this class, it will require consistent attendance, commitment, and dedication throughout the year. Students should be prepared to build on their skills week-to-week and come ready to work and progress as a group. Dancers who don’t feel like this level of focus and commitment is for them are still welcome to enrol in Ballet 1 (ages 12+) regardless of experience. 

We may use the first couple of weeks of the season to make adjustments and move students between levels where needed. Our goal is to make sure each dancer is in the class where they can feel challenged and supported, while creating a group.

AutumnTerm: Sept 18th-Dec 11th
