Progressive Division Classes

Students are accepted into the progressive division after a successful audition or placement class. Training in the progressive division is more intense and requires more of a time commitment from both the student and the student’s parents. All students in the progressive division are carefully molded and trained from our experienced ballet faculty. The progressive division placement is based on the student’s ability and not age.

Progressive division students must wear their class uniform to each and every class. Hair must be in a bun or neatly secured to the head. No loose hair is allowed around the face. No pony tails. Pink tights worn over the feet and pink ballet slippers with elastics sewn are to be worn at all times. No jewelry will be worn on the neck, wrists, or ankles. Small stud earrings are allowed. Leg warmers are only allowed if the dancer has an injury. Shoulder shrugs may be worn in the colder months. Fitted ballet sweaters (not wrap sweater) are permitted for Ballet 1A, 2A, and 3A students only.

Attendance and Tardiness

Students in level 4A and above are expected to make up classes that are missed. Make up classes may be fulfilled in the same level or the level below.

Late arrival to the class is discouraged. If a student arrives more then 15 minutes late they may not physically take the class, but will be asked to observe.

Registration

Please register for all required classes and workshops in a timely fashion. Placement in the progressive division requires a year round commitment. If a student is unable to keep that commitment a general division class will be suggested.
