Student Division

The comprehensive MCB School syllabus is introduced in Level I and progresses through Level VI. It places an emphasis on strong classical technique, proper body alignment and overall strength and stamina.
Advancement from level to level is based on annual evaluations of the individual student’s technical ability, physical aptitude, strength, classroom effort and attendance, as determined by the School directors and faculty.
Every ballet class is taught to live piano accompaniment. Parents and family members are invited to observe students in class during Parent Observation Weeks.
