In Ballet II classes, students build on the foundation they established in Ballet I. Focus continues on building strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, and body awareness, but now students begin to learn more intricate steps and gain greater knowledge of the epaulement and lines that define the art form. Students should have 1+ prior years of dance training, but placement is at the discretion of the studio and will be based on age and ability. Students taking Ballet II are required to take 2 dance classes per week in order to keep pace with the progress of the class and be ready to begin pointe work in Ballet III. Taking 2 ballet classes/week is strongly recommended, but Jazz and Contemporary Modern classes are eligible electives.

Wed Ballet I (age 7.5+) - Fall 2026 Trial Semester

Brooklyn Studio · Prospect Park South

Ballet is graceful lines, thoughtful movement, and live piano accompaniment in classes. In classical ballet classes, students build on the foundation they've established in pre-ballet. They have better command of their turn-out, allowing their body to work comfortably and properly in 3rd, 4th, & 5th positions of the feet. This also enables them to develop greater flexibility and tackle more intricate steps like rond de jambe, country pas de basque, and pas de chat. They begin to incorporate epaulement, or the positioning of the upper body in addition to the positioning of the hips, legs, and feet, and gain a real understanding of the lines that define the art form. Ballet I--One 1hr technique class/wk required, two recommended. Dress Code: Black leotard (no attached skirt), pink tights, pink ballet slippers, hair pulled back neatly in a ballet bun

The workshop runs alongside our Nutcracker season in Brooklyn, giving interested dancers the opportunity to take part in both: building and performing a piece with us in Accord while also joining the larger Nutcracker production in Brooklyn. Ages 4-6: A Journey to the Land of the Sweets Mondays 4:00 - 4:45pm Young dancers will begin with a playful ballet-based warm-up before setting off for the Land of the Sweets. Using props, imaginative movement, and choreography, they’ll explore some of the fanciful treats and characters that fill this part of The Nutcracker .

They’ll dabble in the character-dance influences of classical ballet through dances inspired by China, Spain, Arabia, and more, exploring the distinct rhythms and movement qualities that shaped the original variations. From there, dancers will learn set choreography while incorporating contemporary movement and creative exploration to reimagine this familiar suite. The result will be a fresh take on a classic that challenges dancers technically while giving them room to develop their own artistry.
