In Pre-Ballet 2, students continue to expand upon the French vocabulary introduced in Pre-Ballet 1 through center work and the learning and utilization of the twelve basic ballet words and positioning: port-de-bras, demi-pointe, en dehors, en dedan, relevé, elevé, passé, battement tendu, battement dégagé, grand battement, coupé, plié. .
Students are asked to execute these ballet steps in a more sophisticated manner. With that, students consider what body parts initiate movement and why they must move in a specific direction in ballet. Faculty also introduce the idea of self-expression and creativity through improvisation.
