Momentum — Adult Breakthrough

Serious adult ballet.
Clear corrections.
Visible progress.

A 3-level online training path for adults who want teachers that push you, correct you honestly, and show exactly what to work on next.

Adult dancer at the barre

For adult dancers stuck at “intermediate”

01

You’ve taken class for years but feel like you’re circling the same level.

02

You rarely get corrections that actually change your dancing.

03

You want clear guidance, to be challenged, and to see real improvement.

If that’s you, Momentum – Adult Breakthrough is for you.

A clear path, not just more classes

Inside Momentum – Adult Breakthrough you’ll train in one of three levels.

Level 01 — Foundations
01Foundations

Solidify alignment, placement, and basic turns so you finally feel stable instead of wobbly.

Level 02 — Progression
02Progression

Build reliable pirouettes, adagio control, and jumps so you stop plateauing at “intermediate.”

Level 03 — Performance
03Performance

Sharpen technique, expression, and stamina so you’re ready for intensives, stage, or serious goals.

When you join, we help you choose your starting level and a simple weekly plan, then use periodic checkpoints inside normal classes so you always know what to focus on next.

The weekly schedule

Every class, color-coded by day — shown in your time zone.

Schedule is being finalized — check back soon.

Big time = your zone · small = Eastern.

Mr. Du personally teaches most classes. On the occasion he can’t, one of our faculty — hand-picked and trained by him — steps in, so every class keeps the same standard. We’ll always flag substitutions in advance on your dashboard.

Our 30-day correction promise

Attend at least 4 adult-friendly classes in your first 30 days. If you don’t feel you received specific, useful corrections that help you improve, email us the same day and we’ll credit your next 4-week cycle free.

Are these classes adults-only?+

Momentum – Adult Breakthrough is built for adult dancers. Teachers are trained to give adults clear, respectful corrections, and the weekly Adult Momentum Masterclass on Fridays is exclusively for adult dancers.

What level do I need to be?+

You should be comfortable with basic barre and center work. When you join, we help you choose your starting level and a simple weekly plan.

How much space do I need?+

A 6 ft × 6 ft area is more than enough for online classes. You’ll want a hard floor (no carpet) and a barre — or something sturdy to hold onto.

How does the training calendar work?+

Momentum runs on a training calendar with planned breaks for holidays and DUCON intensives. Your payments are for access to the full training calendar (not every single week of the year), similar to how most studios run. Planned breaks: year-end holidays (approx. 2 weeks) and DUCON summer intensives (reduced schedule for approx. 6 weeks).
