Improvers 1
Improvers 1 is for adults who are confident and polished with all the Beginners material up to and including Pre-Improvers and are ready to build on pirouettes, work on more challenging adage in the centre and start batterie. Some will benefit from attending Pre-Improvers alongside or instead, if not quite strong or polished enough yet. There are supporting handouts and videos for each lesson.At least one term of Improvers 1 should be completed before being considered for Beginners Pointe. Those assessed as ready for Pointework should attend a term of the Complete Beginners Pointe course on Thursdays rather than the Beginners Pointe classes that follow the Improvers 1 classes.
