Ballet

Ballet is the foundation of all dancing, and provides the grace, poise and technique needed to be proficient in other areas of dance.  Students may go on pointe only with the permission of the instructor.  The Cecchetti method of ballet training is a rigorous system with careful regard for the laws of anatomy, designed to endow the body with all the qualities essential to the dancer….balance, poise, strength, elevation, elasticity etc.  The student is taught to think of movement of the foot, arm and head not as separate, but in relation to the entire body.
