Ballet

Because ballet is the basis for all dance forms. All students are encouraged to study ballet along with other forms they choose. We offer beginner through advanced classes so that our students may receive a well-rounded ballet education. In the Cecchetti method we teach students to lift strongly from the muscles across the stomach and in the lower part of the back, thereby taking the weight of the hips, legs and feet. Above the waist a lightly lifted, poised almost airborne quality enables the dancer to take his or her weight right over the feet no matter what direction or with what speed the dancer moves.
