This class is full
*THIS CLASS PERFORMS FOR ALL SCHOOL DEMO AND THE WINTER SHOW*
At this level, we start with building more expansive movement vocabulary, and throughout the year, the students will concentrate on the placement of the back, as well as strengthening the legs and feet. We place more focus on student turnout of the leg and their stability throughout the year to make sure they can feel and understand their limitations.
At this level, we also begin to address coordination of steps and introduction to musicality. The Class requirement is twice a week.
The Class requirement is twice a week.
Dress Code
The following applies to all classes in The School of Spectrum Dance Theater’s Children and Youth Division. Instructors or the School Director must approve any exceptions to this dress code on a case-by-case basis. No jewelry, including large earrings, watches, bracelets, and necklaces, may be worn to class.
Ballet
Female-identifying students
Students should wear their corresponding uniform-colored leotard for their level, listed below. Tanks, camisoles, cap sleeves, and long-sleeved leotards are allowed.
Pre-Ballet: Light Pink (1x weekly)
Ballet I: Light Blue (1x weekly)
Ballet II: Light Yellow (2x weekly)
Ballet III: Purple (2x weekly)
Ballet IVa and IVb: Teal (3x weekly)
Ballet V: Burgundy (3x weekly)
Students should wear pink or skin-tone tights for our students of color. Convertible or footed tights are acceptable underneath the uniform-colored leotard with pink/flesh-tone ballet slippers to match the tights.
Ballet II-V students may wear a white ¾”- 1” wide elastic belt or a simple white elastic tied in a knot at their waist to check alignment. The latter is available at a craft store or the sewing aisle of a supermarket.
Hair must be pulled back neatly off the face and neck into a bun. This hairstyle allows instructors to see the alignment of the neck. It enables students to move their head freely during pirouettes, jumps, and forward bends without being compromised by the distraction that free hair creates.
If a student’s hair is short, they are required to wear it in a low ponytail with bobby pins to keep the hair off their face and neck.
Please let us know if your student needs assistance finding a suitable hairstyle. Below are links to hair tutorials. Please take a look and feel free to ask questions.

12-18yo/ Monday Intro/Level I Donald Byrd Contemporary Technique 6:00 PM Spring Session January 26 - June 7 2026
This class is full
*THIS CLASS PERFORMS IN ALL SCHOOL DEMO* This class is an introduction to the Donald Byrd Contemporary Technique.
Donald Byrd's Contemporary Technique emphasizes the aesthetic that stresses a free torso infused with flexibility and strength. The technical element design of the class focuses on crucial aspects of movement, including speed, physical awareness, spatial orientation, strength, and flexibility.
Class requirement: meets once per week
Pre-requisite: minimum three years of Ballet, Intro to Modern, or other contemporary or jazz experience preferred, and actively enrolled in one ballet class a week.
Description: Introduction to the Byrd Technique focuses on the Primary Concepts - Energy, Rhythm, and Orientation (where and the direction of the body in space). The young dancer gains a physical and intellectual understanding of these three primary concepts through progressive exercises. With this approach to Contemporary dance, students attain a heightened level of control over their movement's visual, emotional, and physical impact.
Attire: Donald Byrd Contemporary (all levels)
Students should wear black tights, leggings, black jazz pants, or tight-fitting black shorts with a minimum 4” inseam with a leotard or form-fitted T-shirt. Students should have bare feet for Donald Byrd Contemporary. Hair must be pulled back neatly off the face and neck into a bun or ponytail.

*THIS CLASS DOES NOT PERFORM*
Class for Level III ballet students and above.
Students focus on strengthening for future pointe work as well as proper stretching, flexibility, conditioning, and alignment techniques.
This is an essential class for young dancers. This class will not have pointe work.
Attire: Warm-up attire is at the discretion of the instructor. If a student has a dance class immediately following Pre-Pointe, they should wear the appropriate uniform for that class underneath their warm-ups (e.g., a long-sleeve shirt and sweatpants). Students should pull their hair back neatly off their face, but it should not be worn in a bun, as that will impede neck alignment when lying down on the mat.
Students should bring a “TheraBand” or other resistance bands to class.

Students should wear pink or skin-tone tights for our students of color. Convertible or footed tights are acceptable underneath the uniform-colored leotard with pink/flesh-tone ballet slippers to match the tights.
Ballet II-V students may wear a white ¾”- 1” wide elastic belt or a simple white elastic tied in a knot at their waist to check alignment. The latter is available at a craft store or the sewing aisle of a supermarket.
Hair must be pulled back neatly off the face and neck into a bun. This hairstyle allows instructors to see the alignment of the neck. It enables students to move their head freely during pirouettes, jumps, and forward bends without being compromised by the distraction that free hair creates.
If a student’s hair is short, they are required to wear it in a low ponytail with bobby pins to keep the hair off their face and neck.
