Janice Barringer Ballet Syllabus – Grade 3 Ballet (Digital Audio Download)

Grade 3 Ballet Technique

Grade 3 Ballet Technique is the seventh level of Janice Barringer’s Ballet Technique and is designed for dancers ages 13–15. This level represents a solid intermediate stage where students build the strength, clarity, and control required for more advanced classical work.

Grade 3 follows the structure of a traditional ballet class, with barre and center exercises that increase in length, complexity, and musical sophistication. At the barre, dancers execute battement soutenu and fondu en relevé, explore a more intricate and extended rond de jambe, and develop precision through double frappé, quicker petit battement, battement tendu pour batterie, tombé coupé, rond de jambe en l’air, penché arabesque, and the introduction of beats. They also encounter advanced elements such as grand battement jeté pointé, balançoire, and various forms of sissonne.

Center work includes a full adage incorporating développé, helping students develop extension, balance, and sustained control. Jumps and leaps progress into intermediate territory, with grand jeté, grand jeté en tournant, and related combinations. Turning skills deepen as dancers learn pirouettes, soutenu turns, and piqué turns—both en dehors and en dedans—practiced individually and in linked sequences.
