Without knowing anything about your physique and talent, I wouldn’t have an answer for you. However, given that flexibility and strength must be balanced, is there any possibility you could find a Pilates class perhaps mid-week? This will enhance your classical training. If that is impossible, my next suggestion would be a Classical Stretch DVD to do at home. Miranda Esmonde-White explains her regimen thoroughly, she does a good warm up and very elegant ballet style stretching. You will definitely improve, without these extras, though the week long stretch without classes may hold you back.
Please keep us posted as to how things go for you and if you do try something like my suggestions. All the best!

A good way to improve is to talk to your teacher about her/him giving you privates. I do them with my instructor and it has been such an improvement! Good Luck!
