In this ongoing dance class, students of all experience levels are invited to join a positive and uplifting mentorship to benefit technical gains as well as connect with each other and learn more about classical Ballet as a profession. Curriculum: Each meeting will begin with an hour-long Balanchine & Vaganova hybrid classical Ballet barre and center. During our time together we will cover a range of beginning through intermediate positions, movement, and coordinations including the following terminology: 1st-5th positions of the feet and arms, plié, tendu, jete, temp lie, chasse, pique, pas de cheval, rond de jambe, frappe, fondu, developpe/envelope, attitude, arabesque, grand battemant, small adagio, large adagio, ballone, ballotte, pas de bourree, pirouette en dehor/dedans, waltz turns, balances, pique turns, step over turns, chaines turns, soutenu turns, sautés, changements, royales, jumps with battu, glissade, assemble, jete, temp de cuisse, sissone, and pas de chat variations. After the hour of movement study we will take the rest of our time together to discuss a specific topic relating to dance, dance education, or having a career in dance. As well as the specific topic led by the teacher, students are welcome to bring any and all questions to discuss and talk about together. Discussion Topics: The History of Ballet Pre-Professional Ballet Training Finding Confidence Performing Onstage Strength Training and Ballet A Day in the Life of a Professional Ballerina My desire for this class series is to create a safe and positive space for all students to learn, work hard, ask questions, and dance together! Some previous experience is recommended but not necessary, a suggested 1-2 years of ballet. Any questions or comments are welcome and will be answered during class time.

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
Hello!
My name is Ms. Emily and I live in the Chicago area dancing, performing, and teaching ballet professionally. I began teaching a variety of dance classes for youth ages 3-22 over twelve years ago. From Pre-Ballet to Pre-Professional, I’ve taught it all, enjoying every step of the way. Im so grateful to Outschool for giving me the opportunity to connect with students globally and make a difference in every virtual meeting!
My teaching style is threefold: encouraging, imaginative, and productive. I love opening the floor for questions and to further help students understand the intention, mechanics, and history behind each step. Knowing the how’s and why’s is the key to becoming your own artist and building confidence and trust in your body. Dance is my passion and it is my hope and priority to provide a fun, mindful, and interactive learning experience for all learners and students of any age and level!
After graduating I was accepted by audition to a Chicago ballet company, where I have performed and toured the nation professionally since 2016 as a Solo Artist. During this time I have also directed a pre-professional program geared towards advancing the serious student, teaching a variety of classes nation-wide, choreographing, and coordinating performance opportunities in both community spaces and professional stages.
In addition to this I am professionally certified in Progressing Ballet Technique and have an extensive background in the study of beginning thru advanced ballet, pre-pointe, and pointe work, as well as experience in teaching modern, jazz, improv, and choreography. You name it, I teach it! I am dedicated to furthering my own knowledge daily to best help your student succeed.
Above all my desire is to offer high quality training in an accessible and modern-age environment. I also believe one-to-one mentoring in the arts is important and should be affordable and available to everyone. I’m dedicated to helping bring small and low-income communities professional training to the comfort and convenience of your own home. In addition to this, online classes can be a perfect supplement to your weekly training - Enjoy the benefits of multiple teachers and perspectives! My classes are short and sweet, designed to be supplemental to the training your student already receives. For a full list of classes offered, please reach out to me directly to get started. *I am happy to provide more information regarding financial aid, private class opportunities, and how to best supplement your in-person training with online classes.*
In my free time I like to explore the city of Chicago, travel the world, and spend time baking, cooking, and trying new recipes.
