Ballet 2

Pre-adolescent students learn to control their physical movements, think more logically, understand cause and effect of their thoughts, body language, breath and more. Students are more apt to recall the fundamentals of traditional classical ballet including proper posture, placement, technique, and artistic expression.

Classical Ballet of Mobile offers three convenient options for Ballet 2 students, recommending that most dancers in this division spend at least 2 hours per week training. Though Thursday classes are optional, please make sure your Level 2 dancer begins with the required Tuesday Ballet 2 class. Classes are “required” for rehearsal scheduling purposes when casting for performances.

 
 

Technique & Jazz

Ballet 2 is admitted to two convenient technique classes to foster a love of the classical art, reinforce the foundational recognition of basic ballet terminology, discover the body’s center of rotation and balance, and solidify self-discipline and respect. Plus - dancers of at least age 8 are eligible to join our Jazz/Musical Theatre class to complement their classical regimen.

Remember that Tuesday Technique is required for Ballet 2 dancers.
