As signified by the name, dancers at this level begin to perform more leading roles and sections of dancing where they may be the only person dancing at times,[2] a solo. They may dance solo and minor roles in a ballet, such as Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet or one of the Fairies in The Sleeping Beauty. They may also serve as understudies for the leading roles of a story.[3]
