Ballet Academic Program – Academic Grades 6 to 12 The RWB School Professional Division offers a full-time seven-level training program beginning in September and running through mid-June. Students are trained in classical ballet based on the Russian School. This system develops a versatile young artist with strong technique and the ability to be internationally competitive. RWB School students work intensively in ballet technique, pointe, pas de deux and variations. As well, students receive a comprehensive education in creative movement, modern dance, improvisation, choreography, historical dance, character and Spanish. The curriculum is augmented by classes in jazz, conditioning, Pilates, men’s strength training, music, art and dance history. Education programs and seminars in nutrition, injury prevention and performance enhancement also supplement the curriculum. Students may also participate in First Steps (the School’s choreographic competition) and have the opportunity to work as teaching assistants for the RWBS Recreational Division. Professional skills are developed and honed throughout the year at school performances and full-length RWB Company productions. A strong academic education is as important to a young dancer’s career as dance itself. RWB School is committed to supporting the academic education of its students. For those students in academic grades 6 through 12, daily dance classes are accompanied by integrated academic studies in select Winnipeg schools. Transportation is provided to and from classes by RWB School staff.
