At this age level, we focus on personalized attention, ensuring each dancer builds the technical skills, strength, and artistry needed to flourish.

At this level, dancers receive focused, individualized instruction that refines their technique, artistry, and performance skills. Dancers are encouraged to develop resilience, creativity, and a strong work ethic as they prepare for advanced performance opportunities. Additionally, dancers participating in ensemble rehearsals and choreography will be eligible and invited to compete at ABA’s selected YAGP venues, as well as the Universal Ballet Competition, offering them exceptional performance experience and exposure to the broader ballet world. At this level, eligible dancers will also be invited to participate in Allegro Ballet Academy’s end-of-year production performance, showcasing their growth and artistry on stage.
For Allegro Ballet Academy, please note that the age level allowed for ensemble participation is 9 and up. ABA faculty reserves the right, upon evaluation, to adjust a dancer’s level based on their development and skill set. Dancer placement and eligibility for each level is based on their age as of the start of the fall season. For example, a dancer who is 7 and will turn 8 by September 1st, 2026 will be placed in the Preparatory Division (ages 8 to 11). Additionally, according to our competition guidelines, dancers participating in a solo at competitions must meet the age criteria as of January 1st of the competition year. In addition, dancers must also meet the appropriate age of 9 by January 1st of the competition year to participate in Allegro Ballet Academy’s ensemble group offerings at selected competition venues.
Elective Open Classes

They can train in advanced ballet technique, conditioning, jazz, lyrical, and contemporary, all within an intentional structured environment.
