Dance
The Lake Forest Dance Academy is proud to celebrate 43 years of providing quality dance programs for all ages! We
offer a variety of summer classes including Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Modern, and Hip Hop. We offer challenging programs
designed for the serious dance student. We also provide classes for children, teens, and adults who simply love to
dance or just want to experience the rewards of this artistic discipline.
Ballet
BEGINNING BALLET (6Y+): Beginning Ballet covers the basic fundamentals of classical ballet and is a good beginning level for the 6-year-old and up.
Balanced exercises at the barre and center are introduced to gain strength, good posture, placement, and discipline. Introduction to French terminology
(ballet steps and their meanings), correct body alignment, and proper technique are emphasized as well as introduction to turns (spotting exercises) and
free movements (leaps, skips, and jumps across the floor). Recommended for LFDA students previously enrolled in Ballet Standards through Ballet 1.
INTERMEDIATE BALLET (8-18Y): Intermediate Ballet will include work suitable for all intermediate ballet students. Recommended for LFDA students
previously enrolled in Ballet 2-3.
INTERMEDIATE BALLET WITH POINTE (8-18Y): Intermediate Ballet with Pointe will include work suitable for all intermediate ballet students. This is a
pre-pointe, beginning pointe class. Recommended for LFDA students previously enrolled in Ballet 3 and 3C.
ADVANCED BALLET (10-18Y): Advanced Ballet will include Variations and work appropriate for the advanced ballet dancer. Pointe work will be
included. Recommended for LFDA students previously enrolled in Ballet 4-5.
OPEN LEVEL BALLET (8-18Y): Open Level Ballet is recommended for dancers ages 12-16 with little dance experience who are looking to begin their
study of ballet.
CECCHETTI TECHNIQUE (6Y+): Our Cecchetti Ballet classes give dancers a firm foundation in the classical ballet technique founded by Enricho
Cecchetti. Cecchetti ballet training is for dancers who have completed Ballet 2 or higher and for serious students, can include the opportunity for
examination and certification by the Cecchetti Council of America. Enrollment is open to all dancers at their appropriate level of study whether or not
they wish to pursue certification.
PROGRESSING BALLET TECHNIQUE: Progressing Ballet Technique is an innovative program developed for students to
understand the depth of training muscle memory in achieving their personal best in classical ballet. This technique explores
safe dance training to prevent injury and correcting faults. It will promote mindful dancing throughout every class.
