Senior Level: Classes for ages 11+
Students at the Senior Level are challenged to move ahead, pushing their skill and artistry into an area that satisfies mind, body and soul.
Students together with their parents and under the guidance of their teachers often create for themselves a "package" of classes. To forge ahead in their classical ballet training; to reach out with contemporary dance for the full benefit of what dance can be; to open creative channels through exploration of their improvisation skills; and eventually, to bring ideas for their own choreography to the fore. Students of this Program can audition for our accomplished professional youth company, YMI Dancing.
Students at this level face the challenges and results are many: dancers here show an innate ability to focus and to work time efficiently; they develop stamina and a work ethic that is impeccable. Mentally they soar; physically and emotionally they dance and express; and, above all, they love what they do so well - good dancers make good people.
Classes are taught by highly qualified teachers and specialists in the field of dance. Our class sizes are capped to ensure that each student receives the attention needed to ensure progress and safe development. Pia Bouman School for Ballet and Creative Movement offers a nurturing, non-competitive environment.
