Ballet 2B Pre-Pointe
This class is designed to prepare students for pointe work by focusing on the necessary strength, mobility, and control that will enable a smooth and safe transition to pointe work.
Students will be given periodic progress reports covering all areas of technique, strength, mobility, and alignment that are necessary to be approved to start pointe work. In each area, students will be graded from 1 (below expectations) to 4 (exceeds expectations), with a score of 3 being required in all areas to progress to pointe.
Students must be 10 years old by January 1 of the year they start pointe work. Once approved, students must be professionally fitted for pointe shoes and their shoes must be approved by an instructor. We usually schedule a pointe field trip to one of the local dance shops, followed by a day at the studio where students will learn to sew their ribbons and elastics.
Dress Code: Plum tank leotard, pink tights, pink shoes. No skirts allowed except on observation days.
Warm-ups are only permitted when studio is not sufficiently warm or to protect an injury.

Fairytale Ballet - A Midsummer Night's Dream - Ages 6-8
Everyone like a good joke, and nobody jokes like Puck, the servant of the Fairy King Oberon. At his king's behest, Puck creates magical mayhem among fairies and mortals alike using a flower that has the power to cause love at first sight. Shakespeare's renowned comedy about human folly and mistaken identity is perfectly complemented by the whimsical score by Felix Mendelssohn. Students in this workshop will explore this story of hilarious hijinks while also learning about the importance of using our own "magic" only for good.
*minimum enrollment of 3 students needed for class to proceed*
Each day consists of age-appropriate dance instruction, a themed craft, a healthy snack, and story time. The workshop will culminate in a mini-performance for family.
What to wear: anything that allows for full freedom of movement! Leotard and tights, tank top and shorts, T-shirt and leggings, etc. Hair should be pulled back in a ponytail or bun. Ballet shoes are required but pre-owned shoes can be borrowed from the studio.
What to bring: water-bottle

Fairytale Ballet - Sleeping Beauty - Ages 6-8

Students in this workshop will get to explore the many (many!) fairies and fairy tale creatures featured in this ballet (did you know Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf attend Aurora's wedding?) through improvisation and structured dance.
