Home » Performing Arts Program: Intermediate

Ballet / Contemporary classes for Intermediate dancers ( levels 4-6 ) ages 11-15, builds upon the classical foundation taught in levels 1-3. With the foundation set, INTERMEDIATE introduces and refines classical & contemporary steps, combinations of steps and pointe work. The dance roles are more demanding and the hours/week increase. Intermediate students perform twice a year: once in Ballet Minnesota’s ‘Classic’ Nutcracker in December at The O’Shaughnessy and in the Minnesota Dance Festival in the Spring.
