Ballet II (Ages 6-7)
Students continue to learn ballet technique and vocabulary while they develop strength, flexibility, and musicality. There will be a continued emphasis on correct posture, positioning, and ballet steps. More complex step combinations are introduced at this level.
Required Supplies:
Students must wear their class gear at all times. Girls should wear a light blue leotard, pink or skin toned footed ballet tights, and pink or skin toned ballet slippers (canvas or leather). Boys should wear black tights and white t-shirt with black ballet slippers (canvas or leather). Children who are gender expansive may wear whichever suits them. Note- tights and shoes must match (i.e. pink shoes/pink tights or skin tone shoes/skin tone tights).
