Description:

Intermediate BALLET

This is Year 1 of a 2 Year program.  This year, students will focus on learning their syllabus and strengthening their technique. At this level, there are separate syllabi and examinations for male and female students. A candidate who has successfully completed a course of study based on Intermediate Ballet will be able to demonstrate a sound, established, and detailed knowledge and understanding of the mechanics and purpose of the required vocabulary.  Further, they will be able to exhibit a mature approach to responding to and interpreting direction, spatial awareness, control, and coordination in a range of complex movement sequences. Finally, all students will be able to respond to the phrasing and dynamics of music when performing a range of movements within different rhythmical frameworks. This shows a sound understanding of the interpretation and expression of music in performance. For female students, Pointe work is an important aspect of this level and it will continue to grow both in exercises, Variation, and practice time.  For male students, this level provides a greater focus on turning steps. 

Syllabus: Warm-Up, Barre Exercises, Port de Bras, Center Practice Exercises, Adage Enchainement, Allegro Exercises, Free Enchaînement, Pointe Work for female candidates, Choice of Variations and Révérence. Students will also present a Showcase piece.

Performance: London has organized multiple performance and demonstration opportunities for students, to build confidence and to gain experience of dance outside of the studio.  Please ensure that you support your child in these opportunities as they are an important part of their dance training.

Uniform: The visual appearance of a dancer is as much a part of the art of Dance as the movement itself. Classroom attire is particularly important. It must allow the dancer complete freedom to experience movement while maintaining safety. It must also allow the instructor and observer the opportunity to view the alignment of the body and the movement itself. At the London School of Dance, we maintain a strict policy regarding the wearing of regulation uniforms and correct grooming. Please see below for the required uniform for this level.
