Course Detail: YDCSU - YDC Summer 2025
Preparatory Ballet & Elementary Ballet
Students are introduced to a more comprehensive study of classical ballet technique. This includes the structure and progression of a full barre, center work, and petit allegro. Emphasis is placed on developing correct ballet terminology and technique while encouraging musicality, personal expression, spontaneity, storytelling, and teamwork. To ensure steady progress, students are required to attend at least two classes per week. At these levels, students continue to refine and deepen their understanding of classical ballet technique. Focus is placed on building strength, precision, and mastery of essential skills. Consistent attendance at least two classes per week is necessary for continued growth. New students must be evaluated before being placed in these levels.
