<p>Anyone taken ballet at 'SC?
I've done one-class-a-week soft-shoe-only ballet since I turned 4. I am assuming this is probably enough experience to do okay in Ballet B since Ballet A looks targeted for beginners. Anyone care to verify or denounce this assumption?</p>
<p>Do people often skip ahead to the next level? Is there even a way to do so before classes commence?</p>
<p>I'm interested about this too as I am planning to minor in Dance at SC. Would anyone care to describe how a dance classes work? :)</p>
<p>I know that skipping levels can be done, but I don't know how to do it. You should contact the theater department. Beginning dance classes at SC really are geared toward beginners.</p>
<p>D was also a ballet dancer (when she was younger). She made it to pointe shoes; however, gymnastics took over and she no longer had any time for ballet. She registered for ballet A (knowing it would be easy) and will wait and see how that class goes. If it's too easy she will likely switch over to ballet B (left that time frame open in her schedule just in case). I do know she spoke to some individuals who have taken ballet A and they said it was super easy. Good luck. D thinks she will minor in dance too. :)</p>
<p>well anyone else who's with me, i'm registered for the T-Th ballet A and trying to transfer to T-Th Ballet b. so if we just go the first day of classes we can ask the teacher how to transfer, maybe even attend the first session of both classes...?</p>
<p>oh, and anyone who has taken ballet at 'SC, i'd like to know... what do most people wear for class and should we be dressed/expect to dance on the first day?</p>
<p>D just bought the typical ballet pint (footless) tights, shoes, and a black leo. I don't think you can go wrong with that. D also said she saw people wearing just about everything last year.</p>
<p>i watched a b class and the attire is VERY informal</p>
<p>ETA: but then again, you could say i'm an SAB snob ;-)</p>
