In this class students will apply the technique learned in their required ballet classes to re-create variations of popular full length Ballets such as The Nutcracker, Swan Lake, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty and have the opportunity to perform these works in three mandatory performances throughout the year: a performance of The Nutcracker Variations in December, a Repertoire Variation in the Spring Recital in May, and a community based performance. Supplementary Class As students’ progress in level and age, they will be required to take a supplementary class in either Tap, Jazz, Modern, or Hip Hop allowing them to learn and grow in a variety of dance styles. These supplementary styles will be included in the performances, widening their dance knowledge and increasing their appreciation for the art form.
