What classes do I sign my dancer up for?
*It is highly recommended that all dancers begin with Ballet class. However, we also highly recommend that dancers begin a movement class along with their ballet training as soon as possible. Dancers who take Jazz or Contemporary/Modern along with their Ballet training progress much faster and posses a much broader movement vocabulary.
Our ballet training is based on the Cecchetti Method and has graded examinations given by national examiners. This is a truly classical method for teaching ballet that is respectful of individual anatomy and strives for the highest level of technique over time as the body is carefully strengthened, stretched and molded.
