Level 4 requires more commitment in terms of actual hours spent in the studio. At this level of training, we are preparing the body and mind for the first Pointe Shoes. In order to move along at a good pace, a minimum of three Ballet classes are suggested each week. Without adequate hours spent developing the skill set required in this discipline at this level, will make for a slower progression and delay in age appropriate repertoire. Adding other dance genres such as Contemporary and Lyrical will only strengthen and help the progress.
