Ballet III (Ages 8-9)
Focusing on strengthening the legs and feet, proper placement in extensions, and preparation for beginning pointe work. Port de bras, balance, and more complex movement combinations are emphasized. Pirouettes and grade allegro are introduced. Modern dance, strength and conditioning, and pre-pointe classes are added to the program. Rehearsal for upcoming performances and additional supplemental classes are offered to strengthen and ready dancers’ bodies for daily practice.

Ballet IV (Ages 10-11)
Dancers continue to refine, develop, and strengthen extension in the legs and feet. More advanced barre and centre work are studied to increase movement vocabulary and total body coordination. Pointe technique is required a minimum of three times a week once dancers are deemed ready to begin pointe work. conditioning classes are offered to strengthen the dancers core muscles and enhance flexibility. This level is required to participate in the full program.

BALLET I (Ages 4-5)
At this introductory level dancers explore basic movement vocabulary and expression through stories, music, and rhythmical patterns. Dancers develop spatial awareness, coordination, flexibility, musicality and learn how to dance with others through fun games that teach proper class etiquette. Basic ballet concepts, like the positions of the feet and arms, are introduced to ground the foundation for future study of classical ballet technique. Level 1 progresses to explore proper body alignment, total body coordination, strength and flexibility, ballet terminology, and musicality.

Ballet II (Ages 6-7)
Once a dancer has fully mastered the elements of Level 1, they will be invited to advance to the next level. At Level 2, dancers continue to study the fundamentals of ballet such as placement and alignment. We introduce the positions and directions of the body as well as more complex patterns and terminology.

✨Jock Soto Day is this Sunday✨
🕰️Sunday, August 23 · 7:00 pm
📍Sandia Preparatory School, 532 Osuna Road NE, Albuquerque

This is the second annual celebration hosted by IMOD, and the first since the Navajo Nation designated Jock Soto Day to be observed each August 23rd.🤗

🌄For one evening, three companies share a stage for the first time. ShanDien Sonwai LaRance opens with Native hoop dance. Festival Ballet Albuquerque and Ballet Taos perform Jock’s choreography, including a new work premiering that night. And we present the 2026 IMOD Jock Soto Award to Vonn Kronberg, an Albuquerque student who has trained with Jock since he was twelve.

Admission is sliding scale with $25 suggested, so families at every income level can attend.

🫶If you cannot be there, you can still be part of it. Buy a signature tote, or give directly to the Jock Soto Fund. Serious dance training costs money, and that decides which young dancers continue and which stop. The Fund exists to close that gap.
