Ballet Int I
Holly Jahn
AGES 11+: This first level of our intermediate program bridges the gap between beginner technique and more advanced classical training. Students begin to explore more complex barre combinations with greater attention to alignment, turnout, and musicality. Center work introduces longer phrases and new across-the-floor combinations that build on the skills developed at the beginner level, challenging students to move with more precision and confidence. This is where young dancers begin to truly find their footing — developing the strength, coordination, and artistry that will carry them through the rest of the intermediate program and beyond. Placement in Intermediate I requires completion of or strong proficiency in our beginner ballet curriculum.

Asher Allen
AGES 13+. Intermediate III is the culminating level of our intermediate ballet program, designed for dancers who have progressed through Intermediate I and II and are ready to push the boundaries of their classical training. At this level, barre work becomes more demanding in both technical precision and physical stamina, with combinations that require a deeper understanding of alignment, épaulement, and musicality. Center work features longer, more complex phrases and across-the-floor combinations that challenge dancers to execute with fluidity, strength, and artistry. This is where technique and expression truly begin to merge. Students at this level are refining the skills that will prepare them for advanced study, and are expected to bring focus, dedication, and a commitment to growth to every class. Placement in Intermediate III requires successful completion of Intermediate II and instructor approval.

AGES 9+ : Throughout its history, jazz dance has developed in parallel to popular music. Jazz is often the physical embodiment of the popular music of a given time and therefore continues to change and evolve. We incorporate several styles of Jazz dance using the techniques of Luigi, Bob Fosse, Matt Mattox and Jack Cole. Our school merges these techniques with the most current contemporary styles as well.

Sara Martino
AGES 13+: Jazz Intermediate III is the culminating level of our intermediate jazz program, designed for dancers who are ready to perform the full breadth of the jazz tradition with confidence, command, and artistry. Students at this level have a strong command of the techniques and are now challenged to synthesize various influences into a personal performance style that is both technically refined and expressively powerful. Turning combinations become increasingly complex, with an emphasis on consistency, spot technique, and the ability to execute multiple rotations with control and style. Jump sequences demand greater height, precision, and dynamic contrast — pushing students to develop the strength and spatial awareness needed to perform with power and intention. Choreography at this level is layered and performance-driven, featuring intricate rhythmic patterns, directional changes, and stylistic detail that require both physical command and sharp musicality.

Melanie Wiewiorski
AGES 13+: Intermediate/Advanced Jazz is designed for dancers who have completed our intermediate program and are stepping into a higher level of performance-driven training. At this level, the focus shifts from learning styles and influences to fully owning the technical and artistic demands of jazz dance at its most dynamic. Turning combinations are multi-directional and increasingly complex, requiring consistent execution of multiple rotations, chained turns, and combination sequences that demand both control and stylistic confidence. Jump and leap sequences challenge dancers with greater amplitude, precision, and rhythmic variety — incorporating switch leaps, tour jetés, and combination passes that test strength, flexibility, and air awareness. Floorwork and level changes are integrated more seamlessly into choreography, demanding fluidity and athleticism in equal measure. Choreography at this level is intricate and performance-quality, featuring sophisticated musicality, syncopated rhythms, and stylistic versatility that moves fluidly between classic jazz vocabulary and contemporary movement. Dancers are expected to pick up and retain complex combinations quickly, perform with full expression and stage presence, and bring a high level of self-awareness and professionalism to every class. Placement requires completion of Intermediate III and instructor approval.

Choreography at this level is intricate and performance-quality, featuring sophisticated musicality, syncopated rhythms, and stylistic versatility that moves fluidly between classic jazz vocabulary and contemporary movement. Dancers are expected to pick up and retain complex combinations quickly, perform with full expression and stage presence, and bring a high level of self-awareness and professionalism to every class. Placement requires completion of Intermediate III and instructor approval.

Ballet Technique Fundamentals
Patrice Simone
Ages 8+: This focused 30-minute class is designed to give ballet students a dedicated space to build and refine the technical foundation that every strong dancer needs. Offered as an introductory complement to regular ballet training, this class zeroes in on the essential building blocks of classical technique — helping students develop good habits early and carry them confidently into every class they take. Each session targets the core elements of ballet, proper alignment, turnout, posture, and port de bras, through structured exercises that reinforce correct placement and body awareness. Students strengthen their understanding of basic positions, footwork, and barre fundamentals in a focused, low-pressure environment that encourages questions, repetition, and real growth.
This class is ideal for newer ballet students looking to solidify their foundation, as well as those who want dedicated time to sharpen the technical details that make the biggest difference on the floor.
