Student Division
The following courses are offered for our Student Division:
Ballet
Ballet is a fun, exciting theatrical dance form that originated in the Royal Courts of Europe. Its 400 year traditions have developed a scientific method of training dances, both professional and dance lovers.
Why include ballet into your program?
All dance forms benefit from ballet. A basic foundation of ballet will assist the dancer in acquiring other dance forms with greater efficiency and technique.
Placement of new students
Our office staff can assist the beginning student with placement issues. Students with previous experience will need be assessed for placement. Please contact the school director to discuss the issue or set up an assessment. It is our prime concern to have students in the correct class. If students are placed in the wrong class they will changed to the correct class in a timely fashion. All concerns regarding this issue should be addressed to the school director and not the teacher.
