Junior Company members often perform corps roles in Ballet Memphis' mainstage productions, as well as present their own performance each spring. These classes are designed for older students who have little or no formal ballet training. Basic technique and terminology is taught in a fun, non-competitive atmosphere with the goal of eventually moving each student into the appropriate ballet level. Even if you've never pointed your toe, you can get great legs and a well-toned, elegantly postured body with ballet in our beginner's ballet class. For those students who have had training in the recent or distant past, the Intermediate and Advanced levels refine technique and artistry and introduce students to more challenging movement combinations.
