Suggested for students aged 13 and up, the Advanced program is designed to further the scope of student knowledge across multiple styles including ballet, tap, jazz, hip-hop, Ballet Folklorico de Mexico, Flamenco, and now mid-century modern dance. At this stage in training, the objective of classes becomes specific to the style of dance, developing unique vocabularies, approaches to movement, and aesthetic preferences across classes. At this level, class lengths vary, and are now billed on a rate congruent with the number of hours the student spends in class. Typically, ballet classes range from one to two-hours in length, and students may be considered for pointe work at the discretion of the Director of Dance and individual instructor. Non-ballet classes are usually one-hour in length. It is recommended that Advanced students take at least six (6) classes per week, with at least three (3) of those being ballet classes. It is not recommended that students take more than 14 hours of technique classes in a week, as this can lead to fatigue and burnout. ​
