Description: 

This is an Adult Ballet Drop-in Class. Clicking the "Add to Cart" button will prompt you to purchase our $250 10-Class Pass, which is valid for 6 months from the purchase date and is intended to allow for flexible attendance. It can only be used for our designated drop-in classes, not our standard term-based classes. Purchasing your Adult Ballet 10-Class Pass from this Level III (Advanced Elementary) portal tells us this the level that interests you most--but be advised that you may use your pass to attend any of our designated drop-in classes.

Please note that purchasing the Adult Ballet 10-Class Pass does not entitle you a spot in all meeting dates of a particular drop-in class. Space for a specific meeting date of a drop-in class cannot be reserved in advance. Your 10-Class Pass will be scanned for attendance when you arrive on the day of the drop-in class. The program is designed to allow for the flexibility to attend or skip specific class dates as you please.

Please note that NBS reserves the right to turn students away if too many arrive for a specific drop-in class meeting date and interest exceeds the capacity of our studio. Drop-in class attendance is determined on a first come first served basis as 10-Class Passes are scanned at the door. We recommend arriving at our facility early for the drop-in meeting date you are interested in attending.

Level III (Advanced Elementary) takes the student further into the study of ballet with more complex combinations, incorporating full use of the arms throughout the class and swifter changes of plié to rise at barre and in the centre. The piqué turn is introduced at this level and is usually done on the diagonal and repeated several times in succession. New jumps include an introduction to beats and sissone de coté (scissor-like jumps to the side). Three to four different jumps may be included in a single combination. Grande allegro (big travelling jumps) across the floor encourages further development of strength and stamina.

Notes:

Participants should wear clothes that are form fitting, especially at the knee-joint and ankle, in order for the instructor to see your movements. Do not wear clothes that will obstruct you or others from dancing. There are change rooms on the Concourse Level.

We require students to wear soft ballet shoes. Street shoes are not permitted in the studios; they should be left in the change rooms or outside the studio. The studios are rosin free, but water may be used on the soles of shoes in case of slippery surfaces. NBS has a dancewear store, The Shoe Room®, which carries a selection of unique and comfortable dance clothing and shoes. It is located at 406 Jarvis St, Toronto, one building uphill from NBS. Adult Ballet students are automatically enrolled in the En Pointe Members Program with VIP status, and will receive emails regularly with offers and promo codes that can be redeemed in store and through the online store.
