Students in SMB’s School Division (ages 6 to 18) attend one or more technique classes per week, with intermediate to advanced students also attending classes in pointe, men’s class, conditioning, and modern. When possible SMB technique classes feature live accompaniment, giving students the opportunity to develop musicality, and a unique focus on the connection between music and movement.
