We have five levels in the Classical Ballet Division. The students range in ages 8 years old to 18 years old. MDSB follows a syllabus steeped in the Russian tradition.
The training begins with elementary exercises necessary for placement of the body, the legs, and the head; also developing skills in coordination of steps. Classes become increasingly complex as the students advance through systematic development. As their training progresses, the emphasis is placed on developing strength, stability, smoothness of graceful movement and suppleness. At our highest levels, we emphasize refinement of technique, stressing the physical development of virtuosity and artistry
Students advance through the levels of the Classical Ballet Division according to individual progress in strength, flexibility, musicality and ballet technique. While a student may spend two or even three years in a level, there is no concept of failing a level. Students are placed where we believe they will be most successful and continually progress.
