Intermediate Division
Printable version of Intermediate Division flier (including schedule and tuition information)
 Students enter the Intermediate Division after successful completion of the Youth Division syllabus. Repetition and slow careful work is still emphasized with more challenging work being introduced when students are ready to progress. Work continues on proper body placement, strength building and flexibility. Pointe work is begun in Level 4.
Students will progress to the next level when they have mastered the vocabulary and physical understanding required in the syllabus of their current level. This may be more than a one year process since some students take longer to fully master the material and gain the strength needed in any given level.
Core Curriculum
Intermediate Division students (Levels 4A, 4B and 5) attend class 6-7.75 hours per week and are required to attend all scheduled classes for their level. Ballet technique and pointe comprise the core curriculum of the Intermediate Division.
Level 4 students participate in one mid-year conference, on an individual basis, with Academy Artistic Staff.
Level 4A(first year Level 4) meets four times per week for 1.5 hours.
Level 4B(second year Level 4) meets twice per week for 1.5 hours and twice for 1.75 hours.
Level 5 students conference, on an individual basis, with Academy Artistic Staff twice per year.
Level 5 meets four times per week for 1.5 hours and twice per week for an additional pointe class.
Electives
Other styles of dance and conditioning classes are offered through the Butler Community School . Classes offered include jazz, tap, modern, yoga and Pilates. An unlimited class card is offered at a special Intermediate Division rate. All students are encouraged to participate in order to expand their physical understanding of movement and build connections to the greater dance community. Both the Academy and Community School are housed at the Butler Dance Education Center .
