HINSDALE DANCE ACADEMY
Educate. Nurture. Inspire.
Youth Training Program
The Youth Training Program (Levels 1-3) introduces dancers to the structure of a ballet class, beginning with Level I. Level I is the transition from our young children’s program into an actual ballet and jazz/contemporary class which includes barre/warm-up and center. Level II introduces dancers to body positions and directions, vocabulary, musicality, and ballet combinations. Dancers will begin to see how their ballet terminology carries over into their jazz and contemporary studies. Level III is designed to prepare dancers for the advanced pre-professional division by continuing to build strength, vocabulary, musicality, and passion.
Levels 1-3 (Ages 7-13)
Ballet, Pre-Pointe, Pointe, Jazz/Contemporary, Tap, Stretch/Pilates
