Choose your level

Beginner Ballet

90 minute class | Monday - Thursday

Prerequisite: Prior ballet dance history either as a child or as an adult. Current ability to perform and understand the basic barre exercises: plié, tendu, dégagé, ronde de jambe, developpé, and grand battement.

Studio Level: Dancers of A-Glow that are currently in Ballet 1, Ballet Basics+ or will have completed Ballet Basics 2 by the start of this intensive. Also for dancers of Ballet 2 that want a total ballet refresh!

Curriculum: The Intensive will breakdown all basic ballet technique patterns as well as introduce new, more complex steps such as frappé, pirouette, and elements of grand allegro. Core concepts will be emphasized: alignment, coordination, musicality, and we will introduce epaulement. While modifications are always offered at A-Glow, dancers should anticipate small jumps, leaps, and simple turns being taught at this intensive.

Program Goal: The adult dancer will develop muscular endurance, improved balance, and start to emote the nuances of musicality in their classwork. Participants of the Beginner Program will leave with improved knowledge of where, how, and why we create the lines we do in ballet.

If you need a serious refresher or need to start at the basics, we encourage you to register for our Ballet Basics programs here.

Int/Advanced Ballet

120 minute class | Monday - Thursday

Prerequisite: Extensive ballet dance history either as a child or an adult. Current ability to complete full ballet barre complete with frappé & complex patterns. In the center, ability to execute at least: a single pirouette without falling off balance, moderately complex petite allegro, pique turns at allegro tempo & complete a waltz with grand leaps.

Studio Level: Dancers of A-Glow that are currently in Ballet 2 and ready for more intensive training, and Ballet 3.

Curriculum: The intensive will coach dancers at this level on the intricacies of ballet and give individual feedback to each dancer, each class. We will explore several lesser-known steps, longer combinations (both at the barre and center/travel), with an emphasis on musicality, dynamics, & use of space. The adult dancer will rediscover the discipline of ballet, in a fun & approachable atmosphere!

Program Goal: The adult dancer will enhance their muscular endurance, improve balance, and demonstrate artistry in their classwork. Participants of the Intermediate/Advanced Program will leave with a fresh look at their adult ballet training & body appreciation. This program is goal oriented to improve technique!

If you are not sure of your ideal level, we have trial classes in our current ballet levels which you can apply for here.

  • At A-Glow, we encourage you to be comfortable when you are dancing! Dancers are invited to wear traditional ballet attire, or leggings and a form fitting shirt. Ballet slippers & hair in a bun are required (unless it is not long enough)—no ponytails. Bring water.
