Ballet Division
Our Ballet Division Program consists of an established, integrated ballet curriculum focusing on the strong classical foundations needed to build and develop a healthy dancer. Required classes in other forms are included to diversify skills. Accelerated classes are offered for students who wish to intensify their training schedule.
Boys take specialized classes to prepare them for bravura ballet vocabulary; these classes are required for boys in Ballet 3, Ballet 3X, Ballet 4, Ballet 4X, and Ballet 5. Pointe work, which requires physical and technical readiness, is introduced incrementally beginning in Ballet 3.
Children aged 7 and older progress at their own pace from entry level Ballet 1 through Ballet 5. The Ballet Division is open to all interested students; level assignment requires a placement from our faculty. Some accelerated classes require an additional placement to assign students to the most beneficial classes.
Classes are held September-June. Our curriculum is designed for year long study, so students must be of age by August 31st, 2024. The age range for Ballet 1X through Ballet 4X is approximate, because students progress at their own pace. All students are required to pay a registration fee and a Spring Showcase fee.
Placement is required for Ballet 1X through Ballet 5.
New dancers interested in enrolling in the Ballet Division Program in Ballet 1X and higher must attend a placement class prior to submitting registration for the 2024-2025 School Year.
Dancers who were enrolled at The Rock School during the 2023-2024 School Year are not required to attend an in-class placement. They will receive placement details from the faculty. Any students joining mid-year may be recommended to repeat a level the following school year.
2024-2025 School Year Registration is now open!
