Northwest Ballet Academy
How Are Class Levels Determined? Class levels are based on age, experience, and technical ability rather than strictly by grade level. Younger dancers begin with foundational instruction, while older students advance through structured levels that increase in complexity and intensity. Instructors monitor posture, alignment, strength, and mastery of vocabulary before recommending progression. At our ballet academy, evaluations help ensure students are challenged appropriately while maintaining proper technique and injury prevention. We have a passion for all genres of dance, but it is our belief that ballet is the foundation of several other forms. That is why we teach proper ballet technique, coupled with a disciplined approach that includes personal correction and instruction in ballet vocabulary, history and variations from the classical repertoire.

Mandala Arts
“Blending south Asian tradition, including its iconic costume stylings for the demon king Ravana, with western pas de deux, the dance ensemble found nearly perfect parallel beats between the stories … Chennat neatly elided it by emphasizing the dream aspects of the story, and building off Stravinsky’s eerie woodwind calls…a paring down of the epic to just five dancers allowed the choreography to suit the music. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.” Developing performances that bring South Asian aesthetics into dialogue with global cultures, connecting art forms and communities toward a more creatively connected world.
