Classical Ballet - Advanced Allegro 11 - 20

For ages 13 and older, and as a daily lesson plan of selected allegro combinations for mature male and female ballet dancers.

For the young teen expect 3 years to master the technique. The introduction to the advanced syllabi is here.

If possible, now is the time to have a piano accompanist for classes, for the flexibility live music can lend to the moment's need in teaching.
