GRADES 3 - 5

overview

Grade 3 - Secondary Class

This additional class supports the main Grade 3 Ballet lesson offered through out Legacy Dance Partner, giving dancers extra time to strengthen technique, coordination, and confidence as their ballet skills continue to develop. Regular attendance across two classes each week helps build muscle memory, body awareness, and consistency in movement.

With more time to focus on posture, placement, and control, students refine their technique while developing musicality and expressive quality. The class also supports increased stamina and prepares dancers for the next stage of training.

      Grade 4 Ballet continues to build on the strong foundation developed in earlier levels, with increasing focus on strength, control, and refinement of technique. Dancers work towards greater precision, coordination, and fluidity as exercises become more detailed and technically demanding.

      Students begin to explore more complex movement patterns and musical interpretation, developing confidence and expressive quality while preparing for higher levels of classical training.

              Pre Pointe (Grade 5 & up)

              Pre-Pointe is a specialised class for dancers preparing to move onto pointe shoes. It focuses on building the strength and stability needed in the feet, ankles, legs, and core to support safe and confident progression.

              Through carefully structured exercises, students improve balance, control, and posture while continuing to develop their ballet technique. This class helps ensure each dancer develops the physical readiness and confidence required before beginning full pointe work.

                PBT

                This class is designed to support dancers by developing strength, flexibility, alignment, and overall control through targeted conditioning exercises. Suitable for a range of levels, it complements regular ballet training by focusing on core stability, muscle development, and injury prevention, helping dancers move with greater clarity and confidence.

                Using exercises influenced by classical ballet, contemporary training, and functional conditioning principles, students improve stamina, balance, and coordination while refining posture and turnout. The class supports progression through graded levels, preparation for pointe work, and readiness for more advanced training.

                • Core strength, alignment, and stability
