The children will begin to learn the ballet basic positions such as 1st position, and steps such as skipping, jumping and galloping. The use of turnout is now introduced with plies. The importance of imagination based learning is maintained with imaginative movement sequences which are short five minute stories that the children help the teacher choreograph and work on each term. Props also play an integral part with use of pom poms scarves feathers and musical instruments. However a more structured and disciplined ballet class is starting to emerge,  where children are expected to take instruction and class management is slightly more formal than previous classes. Ballet encourages self-discipline and self expression, developing listening skills, encouraging children to follow instruction, learning to work as an individual and in groups, developing  co-ordination, good posture, strength and suppleness. Ballet also provides a nurturing environment for the development of artistry and musical appreciation.
