Weekly Class Schedule
BALLET
Ballet classes are offered in open sessions, in a hybrid format available both Online and In-Person, allowing students scheduling and geographic flexibility! Classes systematically explore technical and artistic dimensions of ballet while integrating wisdom from today’s dance pedagogy. Influences from Cecchetti, RAD, and Vaganova traditions combine with principles from the Alexander Technique and contemporary dance to support a rich, diversified learning experience. Students are strongly encouraged to be attentive to their own body’s movement potentials as they learn to dance.
Wednesday in March
Wiggle It Wednesdays: This beginner-friendly dance class will explore contemporary modern technique with an emphasis on floor work.
