Class Experience

Beginner Level
"Springtime Ballet" is a wonderful Introduction to Ballet for young learners.  Class will include primary Ballet technique such as the five Ballet positions, plies, releve, tendu, arabesque, coupe, passé and achappe. Basic stretching working up to splits and straddles will also be included. Basic motor skills such as hopping, skipping and gallops may be addressed. All technique is danced to Fantasy Garden Ballet music as well as our favorite Princess music! By the end of the multi day session dancers will have knowledge of primary Ballet technique and be ready to move on to longer Ballet classes. 

Learners will be allowed to interact with the instructor. I teach strong technique in a fun positive environment.  I want my dancers to finish class not only with knowledge of dance, but a love of dance and with a smile!

Parental Guidance
*An open space free of obstacles is necessary for the safety of your dancer. *A leotard and tights is perfect, but not required. Comfortable, stretchy clothing will work as well. Ballet shoes or barefoot please. *Please pull long hair up. *A water bottle is great too.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from Manhattanville Colege
I have been teaching all forms of dance for 32 years!  I am a 1991 Summa Cum Laude graduate of Manhattanville College with a minor in Dance.  While there, I focused on Jazz, Ballet, and Modern.  I even performed in the Soviet Union in 1989!  

I opened my dance school at the age of 23 and still love it! I teach all ages Tap, Jazz, Ballet, Pointe and Modern.  My true specialty is Jazz.  I love the energy and unique creativity available though Jazz Dance.

Dance class is more than just "dance".  It teaches grace, poise, discipline and self confidence. All qualities that will benefit a student in all areas of their lives.

I have been happily married for 24 years and have a 19 year old son who is a sophmore at Fairfield University. He even competed in Jazz and Hip Hop until 7th grade when soccer took over!

I'm looking forward to sharing my knowledge and love of dance with the Outschool Community.
