Today we want to shine the spotlight on our Boys II level. This exuberant group of young dancers takes ballet class three times a week in which they get to build on the basics of technique and begin learning challenging new steps both at the barre and in the center. Boys in this level are also offered an optional gymnastics class each week during the typical school year to help the development of muscular strength and control. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
