Intermediate Adult Ballet Classes
Our intermediate adult ballet classes are perfect for those dancers who are ready to step beyond the beginner levels and challenge themselves in a supportive environment.
With studios in Mitcham and Flemington, Elancé Adult Ballet School has been renowned for adult ballet since 2002. Our supportive community welcomes all, no matter where you are on your ballet journey. In our safe and beautifully appointed studios, we blend finessing technique with a pure love of ballet.
Progressive Level Program
Our Progressive Level program is unique to Elancé Adult Ballet School, with Progressive Levels 1-3 ideal for intermediate adult ballet students. Our 90-minute Progressive Level classes accommodate for intermediate adult ballet students’ prior dance experience in an encouraging and non-competitive environment. All classes respect traditional classical ballet training methods and studio etiquette, whilst maintaining a sense of fun and enjoyment.
Progressive Levels 1 to 3
Progressive Level 1 is ideal if you have knowledge of ballet terminology and technique acquired from at least 2 years of beginner adult ballet (such as our Entry Level program) or 5+ years training in earlier days. If you would you be comfortable with pirouette technique being included in your class, then PL1 could be your level.
If you have a little more training and enjoy more complex enchaînements (without being too convoluted!) then PL2 will be the best intermediate adult ballet class for you. At PL2, students are also eligible for pointe class assessment, if desired. Our pointe classes are separately timetabled with targeted teaching for sound pointe technique.
PL3 is your class if you are an experienced adult ballet dancer who enjoys a challenge but still needs space to learn and grow. If it’s time to bring some batterie into your repertoire, then PL3 will suit you perfectly.
Elancé Class Levels
At Elancé Adult Ballet School, we cater for every level of dance experience. We understand that trying to ‘fit’ adult ballet dancers into a basic 3 tier structure – beginner, intermediate, advanced – rarely works for the dancer. Through our carefully curated timetable of up to 12 different class levels, we can ensure that every student is both supported and challenged at the most appropriate level for their experience and expectations.
Beyond the Class
While students are appropriately challenged in their intermediate adult ballet classes, we believe there is no need for added pressure in our lives! As such we do not hold exams nor present public performances. Students at Elancé Adult Ballet School enjoy an inclusive, non-competitive and supportive community, with many opportunities beyond their weekly classes, including workshops, intensives and special events such as our popular “Dance On Stage”.
Enrolment
Enrolment is term-based, but you can start your intermediate adult ballet classes at any time. We offer an extensive timetable of both day-time and evening classes, at two studio locations. Our range of different class and enrolment options mean you can get the most out of your intermediate adult ballet experience.
All initial enquiries (by phone or email) are received by Elancé Principal, Dianne, who will personally recommend the most suitable class level for you to try, based on your dance experience.
Attire
Students are encouraged to feel comfortable in their chosen attire. Although many students choose traditional ballet wear, active-wear such as leggings and a fitted t-shirt are also ideal. Students are required to wear ballet shoes (flats) for all classes and hair should be tied back and off the face. Aside from an optional water bottle, no other gear or equipment is needed to attend our intermediate adult ballet classes.

“I just wanted to say thank you for the last 6 months at Elancé! Being able to transition back into taking classes so easily by writing to you after a few years was really helpful and the joy of dancing is something I had really missed! Understanding the connection between dancing, technique and our bodies has been a really great experience and I’ve came a long way physically and health-wise. I look forward to the next semester.”
