Don’t rush….the process is more important than the prize

Dancers who are pushed or permitted to advance too quickly through class levels often miss out on learning fundamental technical elements of classical ballet. At best this leads to sloppy dancing and "fuzzy" lines. More dangerously, it can lead to injuries resulting from incorrectly executing movement. Do not be swayed by super flexibility, naturally high extensions, or natural talent. All students need to work through all the levels!
