Pre-Professional

Levels C, D, & E: BRT's Pre-Professional Division focuses on the serious ballet student, with emphasis on commitment and performance quality. Students enrolled in the Pre Professional Division are expected to take all classes offered at their level. Progress in these classes depends upon regular and consistent participation. At these levels, regular attendance is crucial in order to develop and maintain the required strength and skills to safeguard against injury as the technique becomes increasingly more difficult. Absences will affect a student's progress and their ability to be promoted with other students at their level.

Company Class: Once a student begins demonstrating their mastery of Level E classes, the student may be invited to participate in some or all of the daily company technique classes.

Pointe Shoes: To be considered for pointe shoes, students must be at least 11 years old, have had a minimum of 3 full years of classical ballet training, and currently be taking (at least) three classes a week. Proper strength and technical ability are required. Feet must be correctly placed in pointe shoes and aligned with the ankles and knees to avoid injury.

Level C is considered a pre-pointe class. Whether in soft shoes or pointe shoes, every student will learn and execute the same basic pointe exercises that will carry them through the rest of their dancing years. Over a 2-3 year period, students are individually monitored, during which time the teacher will determine a student's readiness for pointe shoes. When a student is ready for pointe shoes, her teacher will arrange to meet with her and her parents at a dancewear store to ensure she receives the right style and size of shoes.
