Beginner 1
New to ballet ~ within 3 months
Beginner 1 focuses on building a strong foundation through repetitive practice of the most basic movements. In this level, students learn the most essential ballet fundamentals, then practice and repeat them until they become confident and consistent. Classes follow the same sequence for about 2–3 weeks at a time, and the overall program runs for three months.
After three months, students may move up to the next level, but moving up is not the most important goal. If Beginner 2 still feels too early, it’s absolutely fine to take Beginner 1 for another cycle. We recommend leveling up when you can perform the movements of your current level with confidence and control. Ballet fundamentals are extremely important, and the basics learned at this stage strongly influence long-term improvement.
Beginner 2
3 ~ 8 months
Beginner 2 builds on the fundamentals learned in Beginner 1 and introduces a wider variety of movements and combinations. The class includes a total of nine barre exercises, primarily taught in a two-hands-on-the-bar format at first. Just like Beginner 1, the class follows the same sequence for about 2–3 weeks, so students can learn through repetition.
As the course progresses, the class mixes two-hands and one-hand barre work to develop better balance and control. This level is also a three-month program, and students may choose to repeat one more cycle before moving up—especially because Beginner 3 can feel significantly more challenging, with different sequences every class and more complex upper- and lower-body coordination.
Beginner 3
6months ~ 1 year
Beginner 3 is based on everything learned in Beginner 1 and 2, but it is taught entirely with one-hand barre, and the sequence changes every class. In addition, the level includes a small amount of centre work.
While Beginner 1 and 2 are more focused on building strength and stability—especially in the lower body—Beginner 3 emphasizes coordination between the upper and lower body, musicality, and combining movements in a more advanced way.
