Senior Division classes for the 2008-2009 School Year begin August 18.
Class size is limited.  Early registration is recommended.

Students progress in Senior Division through levels offering a structured sequence of training stages designed to increase their technical skills, stamina and discipline in accordance with their age and physical development. After completing Level III, students may choose to continue their training in either Track A or Track B. Our syllabus integrates both Vagonova (Russian) and Royal Academy of Ballet (English) teaching systems.  New students please contact Amanda Limbaugh, Academy Director in the BBA office at 979-9492 for assistance with determining appropriate class placement.
Track A  -  Classical Ballet Program
Students enter Track A at approximately age 8.  A core curriculum is required at each level.  Levels I - III  provide students with a firm foundation in ballet, exposure to other dance styles (Theater Dance, Jazz, and Tap) and inspires a life-long love of dance.   Beginning with Level IV, Track A offers a more rigorous course of study for the dancer who desires to perform regularly, pursue a professional career, a dance scholarship for college, or simply to progress at the fastest rate possible.  Students in Track A can supplement their training with Electives.
