Dancers will fine tune their turnout, point, strength, grace, flexibility, and more in an encouraging and focused environment. Double high cuts, balances, entrechats, and other tricky movements will also be practiced occasionally.

This class is for competitive dancers in the Novice competition level and above to improve and perfect their technique. Once dancers have passed the Beginner competition level, they are held to a higher technical standard and must work hard to achieve the results they want.

Dancers will also work to improve their split high cuts, triple shakes, and similar higher-level movements.
