flexibility and technical ability.

For students ages 3 to 8 years old classes are offered in
the late afternoons, and on Friday and Saturday mornings.
Student Division (Ages 8 to 19 years):
For students ages 8 to 19 years ballet intensive workshops
offer a wide range of classes designed to maximize technical and artistic

Classes range from ballet technique and pointe, to Pilates, stretch &
conditioning, dance history, contemporary, injury prevention for dancers,
nutrition, salsa and other forms of dance, and repertory. There is a weekly
lecture demonstration on Fridays for friends and families to observe the
progress students make during the week.
