STUDENT DIVISION
UTAH COUNTY CAMPUS

ABOUT THE PROGRAM | Ballet levels 1 through 8 in Pleasant Grove, Utah, is designed for students ages 10 and up. Acceptance and placement are determined by an audition held before the new fall season, or an audition can be arranged with the Campus Principal. Promotions are considered on an individual basis and determined in part by an examination demonstrated at the end of the school year and an evaluation by the faculty and Campus Principal. Students in this division can expect to spend more than one year in each level. Students in Levels 1 through 8 perform in the Ballet West Academy Spring Production.

Students in this division are expected to participate in the Ballet West Academy summer camps and workshops. If age-eligible, dancers are expected to attend the Young Dance Summer Intensive and Ballet West Summer Intensive.

LEVEL 3 | Placement by Audition

Level 3 prepares the serious dance student for entrance to the Upper School. Students in this level begin to understand a commitment to excellence and the desire to achieve their “personal best”. It is at this stage in a child’s training that we begin to see them emerge as young artists. We continue to build on each student’s natural abilities while emphasizing strength, stamina and technical accomplishment. In addition to technique and conditioning classes, the students add modern dance to their program. Boys focus on boy’s techniques while girls at this level are carefully evaluated and typically placed on pointe. With support and guidance students progress at a pace tailored to match their individual needs.

LEVEL 4 | Placement by Audition

Upon completing the essential requirements of training and successfully demonstrating appropriate skill level and maturity, students are ready for a more intense and challenging course of study in Level 4. Female students at this level must show a structural capacity for pointe work and all students must possess ample strength and stamina.  All of the classes in our comprehensive curriculum are designed to best provide the skills necessary to pursue a career in dance. We believe in a healthy and nurturing approach to the development of each student. As the level of difficulty increases, so does the passion for the pursuit for excellence. As a result, every student’s advancement through the program is based on their ability rather than their age.
