On Pointe: Level 4A Ballet & Contemporary

Students at this level should have prior dance experience and demonstrate proper technique and placement while also expanding their repertoire. They should be technically advanced enough to focus on breath and movement quality, given their understanding of technique. A $40 costume fee is required to participate in the end of semester performance and is due to On Pointe the first week of class. Students interested in expanding their abilities and talents are encouraged to simultaneously enroll in other Level 3 or 4 classes, Teen Modern, and Teen Hip Hop classes.
