Focus: Strengthening technique and expanding training
Classes May Include: Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Hip Hop, Acro, Lyrical
What They Gain: Strong technique, musicality, discipline, and valuable performance and exam experience within our dance community.

As dancers continue progressing in their training, they expand their skills across a variety of dance styles while strengthening their technique and musicality. Students grow as well-rounded dancers while discovering the styles they enjoy most.

Many dancers begin formal dance exams during these years, which provide valuable goals and help track progress in their training. Ballet remains the core of a dancer’s development. Many students take two ballet classes each week as they prepare for exams, helping to strengthen technique, posture, turnout, and overall control.

Dancers at this level may also audition for our Performance Company, the Windsor Competitive Dance Company (WCDC), and our annual Nutcracker production, giving them exciting opportunities to perform, challenge themselves, and gain valuable stage experience.
