This class is designed for students with a foundational understanding of basic ballet positions for both feet and arms, as well as the ability to demonstrate plié, tendu, and dégagé. Emphasis will be placed on proper leg extension, foot shaping, developing movement sequences, port de bras, and balance as students advance.

Barre and center work will become more challenging, focusing on repetition and retention. Students will be introduced to single pirouettes and grand allegro, while progress will be guided by body alignment and muscle awareness. This class will also expand arm positions, body directions, and movement vocabulary. The lyrical component blends ballet and jazz techniques, encouraging students to interpret music lyrics to express a story through fluid or abstract movement.

Dancers will participate in the 13th Annual Parish Extend Dance Academy Performance on May 10. The rehearsal will be held on May 3. The class fee includes the Dance Performance costume.

Attire: Black leotard, black boy short optional (must wear flesh-colored convertible tights) pink split sole ballet shoes, tan split sole, slip on jazz shoes, and hair pulled up.
