Ballet Plus Program

Elevate artistry, refine technique, expand excellence.

Designed for pursuing excellence, the Ballet Plus Program at Evolve Dance Center refines technique, elevates artistry and focuses on the fine details that polish a dancer beyond regular technique training; It's training that carries into every style of dance, helping dancers stand out on stage, and step confidently into professional opportunities.

Our Ballet Plus company is an audition-only program for dedicated dancers seeking advanced ballet training and performance opportunities. Auditions are held each May for placement in the upcoming season. In addition to technique classes, dancers will learn a Classical Ballet Variation, selected by Ms. Jacky to highlight each dancer's strengths and push their growth and development. Dancers will perform their classical variation at the Ballet Plus Showcase. Other performance opportunities include the Evolve Dance Center Spring Concert and Ballet Championships of America.

03

Body angles, carriage and arms (épaulement, Port de Bras)

04
