Class Placement
At the foundation of each level is a specific syllabus containing a set of skills that are developmentally appropriate for each group. When deciding on level placements, all instructors carefully consider all aspects of technique including turnout, hip placement, strength, core stability, foot and ankle articulation, use of arms and head, flexibility, as well as musicality, ability to pick up combinations and apply corrections, and maturity. The basics must be mastered first in order to have a strong foundation to be able to execute more complex steps properly and without injury. The prevention of injury is a critical factor in level placement. As dancers develop physically and mentally at different rates, sometimes there are dancers of several different ages in one level. It is not uncommon for students to spend two or three years in one level. Ballet training has much repetition and sometimes new steps are not introduced until previous steps are mastered. The challenge is in consistently working towards better technique and artistry. Level placement is at the discretion of the instructors.
