Emphasis is placed on musicality and an embodiment of performance style. Pointe work is optional in class, at barre and center, with the instructor’s permission. May be repeated up to three times. Enrollment limited to 25. Audition and instructor permission required.
Permission is required for interchange registration during the add/drop period only.
