Casting of Grade 1 students in our full-length ballets is determined on an as-needed basis, depending on the specific needs of each production. While we do our best to include younger dancers when possible, casting is not guaranteed until Grade 2. Grade 1 students do participate in every show’s section of worship dances.
If cast in the full-length ballet, seasonal rehearsals for Northville Ballet Theatre productions are held on Saturdays from 10:00 - 2:00. A detailed schedule of rehearsals will be sent to all dancers who wish to participate prior to the start of rehearsals.
Class Description: For students on a more serious track, the Grade I syllabus will develop proper placement of torso, hips, and legs without exceeding anatomical limitations. The coordination of arms and head are developed with a concentration on smooth transitions throughout the exercises.
