With Miss Elizabeth's thoughtful instruction, dancers continue building a strong Ballet foundation while exploring the artistry and creativity of Modern dance. Through technical exercises, expressive movement, and engaging combinations, students develop strength, coordination, musicality, confidence, and an appreciation for two distinct yet complementary dance styles.

Students will spend a portion of class preparing for our annual production of The Nutcracker, with theater rehearsals on Nov 18 & 24, Dress Rehearsal Dec 2, and performances Dec 3-6. In order to perform, regular attendance is necessary. (*performance fee included in tuition).

Dress Code: Lavender leo or shirt, pink tights w/pink ballet shoes, skin-toned tights w/skin-toned ballet shoes, black leggings w/black socks & black ballet shoes
