Ages 10 - 18
UPPER division
The Upper Division at CDA focuses on refining ballet technique, expanding style versatility, and developing students’ sense of artistry.
Intermediate dancers continue their ballet training with the addition of pointe work (approval required) while expanding their versatility with Contemporary, Jazz, Modern, Hip Hop, Musical Theatre/Tap, and Conditioning classes. They will learn to coordinate movements of the arms, legs, and head, as well as execute quicker steps and demonstrate body flexibility. Summer study is vital in these levels.
Advanced dancers will dedicate focused effort to their ballet training through daily classes during the school year and intensive summer programs. They will layer other dance modalities into their performance experiences, including Partnering work. These dancers exhibit consistent clear placement and clean transitions. Dancers will strive for stamina, strength, and control while developing a sense of artistry.
Classes are geared towards students 10–18 years old with the intent to prepare students for professional or collegiate study if interested.
Placement is required – please call the studio to schedule a free placement class at (818) 341-0525.
