The classes in this division will last for one and a half hours and will include academic ballet, toe, supported adagio and variations from the current and traditional repertoire.

Regular and lengthy practice, both supervised and independent, is required to master the various positions and movements. The students' body must be trained by rigid discipline until the technique is so fully mastered that it does not have to be thought about. Then the dancer is free to use the body as an instrument and is ready to cope with the different styles and interpretations of the choreographer. Dancers in this division are eligible to audition for the Dallas Metropolitan Ballet. Through this training our graduates are able to take their place in any professional ballet company in this or any country.
