(Ages 12+ by placement) Training intensifies as students mature and gain more knowledge of classical ballet vocabulary. Classes focus on strengthening placement for pointe and men’s work, developing articulation of port de bras and transition steps, pirouettes, clarity of Allegro, musicality and maturing artistry. Performance is emphasized at this level and opportunities increase to include Fall Feature and First Fridays in our Black Box Theater. During this progression, students become aware of the long-term goals inherent to classical ballet training. Each student’s natural abilities are fostered, and students are encouraged to pursue their passion for dance.  In addition to Ballet, Stretch and Condition, Pointe and Men’s class, Level 5 students’ curriculum includes Intermediate Character and Modern. 

Character Dance is the stylized representation of a traditional folk or national dance, mostly from European countries, and uses movements and music which have been adapted for the theater. Examples of Character Dance are found in full length classical ballets such as Swan Lake, Coppelia, and Sleeping Beauty. Level 5 Character will strengthen the fundamentals of this style with emphasis on positions, dynamic movement and musicality. Level 5 Modern will build on the techniques of Limon, Horton and Graham as students continue to explore composition and improvisation. Character and Modern classes culminate with a performance at the end of each semester. 

 Students in this level are eligible to participate in Colorado Ballet Academy’s Youth America Grand Prix and Denver Ballet Guild programs.
