BALLET
Our teachers are trained in the Cecchetti method as well as
Russian technique. The Cecchetti method is essential for learning
body placement and proper technique. Learning steps with correct
technique along with French terminology is important, but developing
body placement, perfect musical timing and a dancer's body that will
work is an essential foundation to all forms of dance.

POINTE CLASSES
Pointe Classes are for Advanced Beginner IV - Advanced
level ballet dancers. Students must be at least age 10 and must demonstrate
correct body placement and good technique. When a student receives her pointe shoes
is entirely at the discretion of the teacher.

BALLET & TAP
Ballet and tap classes for children is taught in a one hour combination
class from Beginner I - Advanced Beginner II. Ballet is taught to
classical and contemporary music. Tap is included as part of the class
to help develop rhythm. Also children can see and hear their progress
in tap rather than in ballet where the development is slow and steady
with most changes being quite subtle.

LYRICAL
Lyrical is a combination of ballet & jazz with emotional style that is sometimes
interpretive of the lyrics. Students must have attained the INT-1 level and be
currently enrolled in ballet. It is recommended that you continue to take a jazz
technique class as well.
