𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿, 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲.

The music starts. You take your place at the barre. Every movement builds upon the last—𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘁, 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹. This is where artistry meets precision.

But sometimes, no matter how much dancers practice, something feels off. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗷𝘂𝗺𝗽𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱. Hard work isn’t the problem—𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴.

Without the right training, frustration builds. 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝘂𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆. 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗲́𝗽𝗮𝘂𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵. No matter how much effort they put in, the movement doesn’t have the refined polish they want. They keep practicing—but 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲, 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀.

Then, something shifts. Instead of repeating the same mistakes, they 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲. Alignment improves, turns become sharper, and jumps feel stronger. 𝗔𝗱𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹. 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵. The right training makes all the difference.

They’ve worked too hard to stay stuck. With 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸, 𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, they’ll develop the 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵, 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 needed to execute every movement 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗳𝗹𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲.

𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻. 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲. 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲.

Learning Goals

✨ 𝗗𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗹𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗶𝘁𝘆 – Master seamless transitions, épaulement, and expressive artistry.

Lesson 1:
Ballet Foundations – Barre: Alignment and Technique
 Dancers will develop proper ballet alignment and turnout, ensuring a strong foundation for all movements. They will practice pliés with precise alignment to build strength and control, while tendus and dégagés will enhance foot articulation for cleaner, more expressive movement. Through rond de jambe exercises, dancers will improve hip mobility and flexibility, and grand battements will be executed with proper technique to build power and extension in the legs.

Lesson 2:
Ballet Foundations – Center: Alignment and Technique
 Dancers will refine their adagio technique, focusing on clean lines, sustained control, and graceful transitions to enhance fluidity in movement. They will also develop stronger turns by mastering spotting techniques and proper preparation, improving balance, coordination, and consistency in rotations.

 Dancers will refine their tendus and dégagés to develop precision, clarity, and articulation in their footwork. They will strengthen their rond de jambe en l'air, enhancing hip mobility and control for smoother, more effortless movement. Through adagio and développé exercises, dancers will focus on creating precise lines, seamless extensions, and controlled transitions to elevate their artistry.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
Dancers will need a safe, open space to move freely without obstacles. Proper dance attire and footwear (ballet or jazz shoes) are recommended for safety and technique. This class involves physical activity—please ensure the learner is warmed up before class to prevent injury.
Pre-Requisites
Designed for intermediate dancers with prior ballet experience. While we will refine foundational technique, you should already be comfortable with basic barre work, center exercises, and ballet terminology (e.g., tendus, petit allegro).

With a Master of Education in Elementary Education and Bachelor of Arts degrees in Dance and English, I bring over 20 years of experience as an educator and choreographer. Certified in Dance (K-12) and Elementary Education in multiple states, I specialize in contemporary, jazz, ballet, and theater dance, sharing my passion for movement and education in every class.

My career includes leading dance programs at prestigious schools like Lincoln High School-Magnet for the Arts in San Jose and American Heritage School in South Florida, where I directed dance companies and helped shape performing arts programs. I’ve also served as Education Director for a renowned contemporary dance company during its landmark 40th anniversary and choreographed for institutions like the Frank Sinatra School of the Arts in New York.

In addition to teaching, I’ve choreographed for high-profile performances and events, worked alongside esteemed professionals, and continued my studies at major dance institutions in New York. With warmth, positivity, and humor, I aim to inspire every learner and foster a love for dance and education.
