Junior Cycle

The junior cycle is the first cycle to the professional division in classical dance performance. It emphasizes excellence, a glimpse of self-transcendence and pleasure in movement.

Classes take place after school, starting at 4:30 pm, and Saturdays.

Schedules for the current year (2022-2023) are the following:

• Ballet
• Creation
• Dances of the world
• Physical training

An assessment is conducted each year, the student must meet set objectives and comply with established requirements to be promoted to the next level or to continue on to the intermediate cycle. Otherwise, the student can opt to continue to dance in the recreational division.

With or without a background in dance, Junior Cycle candidates are students in grades 5 or 6 in 2023-2024.
