ABOUT THE BALLET CENTRE:
Our emphasis centers on the development of the child.
Proper
technique is important in the development of any dancer. With our adaptation of the
Russian Method of ballet, we at the Centre have gained an extended appreciation of
the part physics play in proper balance of the body. This understanding, imparted
to our students from their earliest experiences at the Centre, enables them to perform
exquisitely the dramatic jumps, turns and rapid changes in the body position required.
All
classes are accompanied by a pianist.
- We emphasize discipline but always employed
with love. -
