COMMUNITY DIVISION

Recreational classes are designed for students who wish to begin or continue dance training for self-enrichment, health and recreation. Students are encouraged to grow as an individual artist and to participate at their own pace. Classes are taught by teachers dedicated to the growth and fostering of ballet as an art form and believe dance contributes to a rich arts education and a healthy lifestyle. Classes encourage an aesthetic appreciation of dance and emphasize overall body conditioning.  All classes are accompanied by professional musicians who collaborate with our teachers just as in our School-Year Division.

SCHOOL-YEAR DIVISION

This program provides students with exceptional clarity and strength while encouraging a life-long love of dance and healthy body image. Live accompaniment, enrichment in modern and character dance along with promotion of health and well-being complete the training.

Students enrolled in the School-Year Division build the foundation for college-level programs, conservatory or a professional career. Over 100 students each year are trained in the Vaganova-based progressive curriculum augmented by modern dance and other genres to create the well-rounded dancer. The training is divided into levels appropriate to the age, maturity and dance expertise of each student. Auditions are required for placement and progressive advancement is based on strength, physical development and mastery.
