Progress from level to level is based on instructor evaluations detailing the student's strengths and areas for improvement. Students must take at least 3 ballet classes. The rigors of training demand a strong, disciplined mind and body. Each student's growth toward technical and artistic excellence is dependent upon punctuality and regular attendance.
