The Science of Ballet: Advanced Technique, Anatomy, and Precision for Dancers

𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞—𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥

You’ve already put in the work to refine your technique. Now, it's time to unlock a deeper level of movement. This class isn't just about ballet—it's about understanding how your body powers each movement. You’ll learn the 𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐲 behind the technique, discovering how 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐜𝐥𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥 and 𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 are the foundation of 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.

As a 𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫, you’ve felt the frustration of pushing your body beyond its limits. Whether it's achieving the 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐣𝐞𝐭é or executing a precise 𝐩𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧, it’s about more than just practice. It’s about understanding your body at a deeper level—how each muscle works, how every part of you contributes to 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞.

This is more than an 𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐲 class. It’s a chance to refine your technique with the power of knowledge, pushing beyond what you thought was possible. If this level feels like too much, we also offer a 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥 class to build the skills you need for more advanced movements.

Our classrooms are guided by a Socratic teaching approach, fostering critical thinking and encouraging open dialogue among learners. By facilitating engaging discussions and posing thought-provoking questions, students are able to explore topics more deeply and gain a comprehensive understanding of the material. 

Our class size does not exceed 4 learners. This allows for more personalized attention from the educator, ensuring that each learner's individual needs and learning styles are met. With a smaller group size, there is also more opportunity for discussion and collaboration among classmates, creating a supportive and engaging learning environment. Additionally, students may feel more comfortable and confident participating in discussions and activities in a smaller group setting.

We incorporate a mix of traditional methods such as videos and limited PowerPoint presentations to accommodate various learning styles as well. 

In addition, we gamify our lessons, as much as possible, to make learning fun and interactive for students. By adding elements of games and competition, we are able to keep learners engaged and motivated to participate in their education.

We also incorporate hands-on projects, wherever possible, to provide students with real-world application of their learning. Through these projects, students are able to apply their knowledge in practical ways and further enhance their understanding of the subject matter.
By designing this type of diverse classroom environment, utilizing multiple teaching methods, we effectively address the diverse learning styles of our learners.
