Student Division
The following courses are offered for our Student Division:
Ballet
Ballet is a fun, athletic, theatrical dance form that originated in the Royal Courts of Europe. It is a graceful yet precise form of physical and artistic expression. Emphasis on proper alignment, rotation, line, knowledge and execution of the RDC syllabus. All dance forms benefit from ballet. A basic foundation of ballet will prepare the dancer to acquire 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.
