Level 1A Ballet & Jazz

Our Level 1 weekly dance class is designed for dancers who are ready to build on their foundational skills. In this class, students will refine their technique, improve their alignment, and enhance their endurance in both ballet and jazz styles. Through focused exercises and combinations, dancers will continue to develop their strength, flexibility, and coordination, while expanding their movement vocabulary. This class challenges students to become well-rounded dancers, helping them to express themselves with confidence, master more complex movements, and deepen their understanding of both ballet and jazz techniques.

A $80 costume rental fee ($40 for each costume) is required to participate in the end of semester performance and is paid to The Dance Connection the first week of class. Dancers will receive one ballet costume and one jazz/contemporary costume. Rented costumes must be returned after the performance to avoid additional fees. Students interested in expanding their abilities and talents are encouraged to simultaneously enroll in other Level 1 classes, Kids Lyrical Jazz and Kids Hip Hop.

Equipment Needed: Students are expected to wear a black dance leotard and pink ballet tights with ballet slippers for the ballet portion of class. Jazz pants or shorts can be layered, and jazz shoes will be changed into for the second half of class. Hair should be pulled away from the face.
