Level 1 is a student’s first introduction to our Pre-Professional Division.  Students in this level continue developing their mastery of body, leg, arms, and head placement, while learning new movements and steps. The exercises are longer, and students repeat the previously learned steps in an increased number. The tempo of the exercises is slower to allow students to concentrate on correct placement and lengthening of the body. Increasingly more time is spent in center work where students have to learn to move without support from the barre.
