芭蕾科學：基礎解剖學、肌肉和舞者技巧

𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐠𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐣𝐮𝐫𝐲. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞, 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭.

Work with a professional and receive expert guidance from a choreographer and artistic director who has worked with Lar Lubovitch Dance Company, American Ballet Theatre (ABT), Twyla Tharp, and Alvin Ailey’s Robert Battle. With experience teaching at top performing arts schools and institutions like Northwestern University, Ballet Tech, and the Frank Sinatra School of the Arts, I bring over 20 years of professional expertise to help dancers refine their technique and artistry.

Every leap, every turn, every graceful movement begins with understanding. As a 𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫, you know the frustration of 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧—working tirelessly to master a 𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐮 or achieve the height and elegance of a 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐣𝐞𝐭é. But sometimes, no matter how hard you push, your body doesn’t respond the way you want it to. The secret? It’s not just about practice. It’s about 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐬.

This isn’t just an 𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐲 class—it’s your guide to unlocking the 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡, 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥, and 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 you’ve been searching for. Week by week, you’ll discover the 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐬 behind your favorite movements, from the elegance of an 𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐨 to the explosive power of a 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐣𝐞𝐭é. Imagine learning exactly which muscles support a 𝐩𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧, or how your core and legs work together to execute a flawless 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬é.

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.
