Level 2A Intermediate Ballet is the second level/stage in the Classical Ballet Sequence training and is taught at a slow intermediate pace. It is an intermediate level ballet class which still focuses on and executes proper and/or classical ballet training through a fusion of Cecchetti, Vaganova, and Russian ballet methods. Students in this level must be able to read, because their ballet vocabulary training is taught through the use of sight recognition and portfolio work where the written ballet vocabulary word and its definition are read out loud by each student during each class session. Students will be tested in this level on their knowledge and comprehension of their ballet vocabulary words. The use of the head and arms at the barre will be introduced in this class, in addition to more complicated combinations and floor patterns in the center. This class focuses extensively on correct execution, placement, and alignment of ballet skills and formal emphasis is placed upon memory retention.
