TIME TO DIVE INTO SUMMER DANCE!!
Its a GREAT time to develop and expand your Dance Skills !!
The mention of summer break may bring to mind images of rest and relaxation, but …taking the summer off from dancing may not be such a great idea. While even a couple of weeks without stretching can result in a loss of flexibility, several weeks away from the studio may cause you to lose strength and technique.
We offer classes through the summer months. These Classes tend to be smaller, making way for tremendous gains in progress and offering students a wonderful opportunity for growth in dance…

Adult Ballet 2: Tuesday 7:30 This class is adults only, and a great class for dancers that are coming back to ballet – even if it’s been a few years (or more) since you’ve done a plié! Adult Ballet 2 has all of the elements of a traditional ballet class – without the emphasis on perfect turnout or jumps. This is an individualized class, with special attention paid to each dancer’s needs and goals. We will focus on waking up your ballet muscles, improving strength & flexibility, and most importantly, enjoying the art of ballet as an adult! {Emily EMILY FAZIO

Come work on your center and your stretch, and then see how it all works to help your technique with some fun jazz combinations!
