Dancers build proper technical skills, core strength and aplomb, correct posture and usage of arms, head and foremost understand the basics in technique.

All this is accomplished in a fun and nurturing environment. Level A Beginning at age 6 to 8 years. Slowly the demanding and regimented nature of true classical Ballet is introduced at this level with ballet barre exercises and age/skill level appropriate center work per Academy Syllabus.

  • Strive Level 1-3 Ballet Audition Study Guide
    Strive Level 1-3 Ballet Audition Study Guide General Questions Level 1-3 1. Name and explain the basic 5 focuses, in the correct order for every level. Posture, Placement, Positions, Preparations, and Transitions. 2. In what ways is ballet class “progressive” (i.e. building on itself)? • We begin working in small positions and gradually make them bigger. • We balance on two legs before we balance on one. • We start with the leg low and then as we warm up, we begin to lift higher. • While transitioning, we move through the five levels in order (don’t skip). • In the lower levels, we work slowly and increase speed as we get stronger in our technique. • In the beginning of the barre, we work slowly and gradually increase our speed. • In the lower levels, we work facing the barre and at the higher levels we work with one hand on the barre. As we progress we add the arms (Port de bra), and head and shoulders (Eppaulment) to the movement of the legs. 3. What are the basic ways of moving in ballet? Rise, Fall, Turn, Jump, Turning while jumping, Gliding, Floor Work. 4. What are the five “progressive” levels we travel through? Plie, Straight legs, Demi-pointe, Full pointe, and Release or Jump 5. What five ways do we learn (Hint: Use your five senses)? Watching, Listening, Feeling, Smelling, and Tasting. 6. How do these ways of learning constitute a 100% effort? Watching = 25%, Listening = 25%, Doing = 25%, and our energy = 25% 7. Name, in order, the seven points of isolation to think about when working on posture.

  • Preparation for Pointe Work
    Preparation for Pointe Work Preparation for pointe work needs to start a year before using pointe shoes and students need to gain the following: ● Strong and flexible feet and ankles ● The ability to hold turnout in all positions ● Good articulation through the forefoot ● Strong core muscles ● Strong calf muscles ● Good balance ● Mature attitude to dancing Sometimes students can do their barre work in bare feet to check for any issues that could hinder pointe work and make sure they are articulating correctly in a tendu and using the correct technique for rises. There is no set grade or age that students start pointe work, it is different for each child. Generally we start looking at students from Grade 4 upwards however pointe work is not examined until Intermediate level. Buying Pointe Shoes It is important that parents/carers attend the studios with their child to talk about pointe shoe shopping and that you phone ahead to arrange an appointment. We recommend the following shops: ● Adage, Harrogate - 01423 530777 ● World of Dance, Leeds - 0113 2461100 ● Twinkle Toes, Bradford - 01274 728648 For the Appointment ● Allow plenty of time - most pointe shoe fittings will take at least an hour. ● File down nails before going for a fitting and then keep a nail file in dance bag ● Wear convertible ballet tights ● Be honest with the fitter about how the shoes are feeling ● Choose a pair that feels best on flat and pointe ● Purchase ribbons, elastic, pads as directed by the pointe shoe fitter After the Appointment ● Return to the studio with the unworn pointe shoes for checking and advice for sewing on ribbons and elastic.

Latta, Ph.D. Abstract The focus of this ethnographic study is to examine the industry-wide culture of the American ballet. Two additional research questions guided the investigation: what attributes, and their light and dark dimensions, are valued among individuals selected for leadership roles within the culture, and how does the ballet industry nurture these attributes? An understanding of the culture was garnered through observations and interviews conducted in three classically-based professional ballet companies in the United States: one located in the Rocky Mountain region, one in the Midwestern region, and one in the Pacific Northwest region. Data analysis brought forth cultural and leadership themes revealing an industry consumed by “the ideal” to the point that members are willing to make sacrifices, both at the individual and organizational levels, for the pursuit of beauty. The ballet culture was found to expect its leaders to manifest the light dimensions of attributes valued by the culture, because these individuals are elevated to the extent that they “become the culture,” but they also allow these individuals to simultaneously exemplify the dark dimensions of these attributes.
