Niagara Academy for the Performing Arts

 

Following the Royal Academy of Dance Syllabus for ages 5 yrs. + .  The Academy offers examinations on a yearly basis for students who are interested in participating.  This international training format is an excellent base for all dance styles.  The class consists of barre, center practice, port de bras, allegro, pirouettes, adage, and grand allegro.  Enchainments are created on a weekly basis to link steps together and develop understanding of patterning on stage.

For students age 12 yrs + who have demonstrated through their ballet classes they have developed the correct posture and placement on demi-pointe.  Pointe is the ultimate goal for all ballet dancers.  The focus is on exercises to build strength at the barre to allow dancers to move into the center and challenge themselves to more difficult steps that require balance and control.
