Supplementary Classes
In addition to the core syllabus classes (see here), we encourage students to take additional classes as supplemental training. Additional classes can increase basic strength, deepen the student’s understanding of the ballet vocabulary, or broaden the scope of her/his training.
In the Lower School (up to Level 2) students may take additional classes at their syllabus level as supplementary classes.
