Intermediate Division
Levels 2–5 | Ages 8–13
Curriculum Focus
Positioning for formal classical study, our Intermediate Training Division bridges the transition from primary movement to formal instruction. The curriculum includes strength and flexibility training, ballet technique, and focused additional training in adagio, extension, and jumps and turns. The Intermediate Training Division adds contemporary genres to core training, and the introduction of pre-pointe and pointe work. Students benefit from the mentorship of Master Ballet Academy's founders, leadership, and faculty.
CURRICULUM

CLASSICAL TECHNIQUE

CONTEMPORARY GENRES
Contemporary complements students’ classical training. Intermediate dancers must take a minimum of one contemporary offering per week. Students may also take additional contemporary genres offered in the Youth Program and Teen Academy.
