ADVANCED PROGRAM SCHEDULE
ADVANCED STUDENTS MAY ALSO TAKE CLASSES FROM THE REGULAR SCHEDULE
This program was developed to meet the needs of the serious student who may possibly choose a career in the field of dance or pursue a college dance degree. Students must be recommended or audition for this program. Students who desire only 2 or 3 classes a week should take classes in our excellent open program. Students in any Advanced Class must abide by an additional set of policies. A parent and dancer are to schedule a meeting with the director if this will be your first year in any Advanced class (with the exception of Advanced Tap) to review these policies. Advanced Pointe students who wish to perform with the Advanced Ballet program must take a minimum of 4 Advanced Ballet classes. The required classes are listed below. Email Mrs. Lannin to work out conflicts in your schedule, or if you would like to add additional classes. New students to the Advanced Level should email Mrs. Lannin to schedule a conference to review the Advanced Level Policy. Advanced adults may enroll in Advanced Level classes with permission of an instructor.

Note: Keep in mind that in order to be successful in an Advanced Ballet Program, 5 to 6 days a week of training is the universal standard. It is also important to study other styles of dance in order to achieve the versatility necessary for a career in dance these days.

All dancers are encouraged to stretch, condition, and cross train to avoid injury.
