Continuation Classes

Dance Intensive

June 22-25, 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.

Dancers 10+ can deepen their practice or prepare for their first class in the fall. Learn new ballet choreography from Miss Ann, tap with Miss Angie, build technique through Pilates and yoga with Miss Stephanie, and explore improvisation with a special guest instructor! Bring lunch. $350

We are excited to share that our special guest instructor for our June Dance Intensive is Phaedra Jarrett! Some of you may know her from the Plum Tree School, but she is currently the resident choreographer of Spokane Youth Ballet. She was a professional dancer with the Sacramento Ballet and rose from soloist to principal dancer in the Oakland Ballet. The Modern Improv class she’s bringing to our students is an exploration in movement: In her words, “It consists of a variety of techniques to improve dancers' improvisation, choreographic skill, and understanding of dancing with emotion, dynamics, musicality, and artistry. ‘Controlled Abandon’ is the goal. The idea is that, through good technique and a strong sense of our bodies in space, we can dance seamlessly with the appearance of abandon, with a constant array of choices.”

Lunch Break Ballet

July 27-30, 11:45 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.

This week, Miss Sara is teaching open ballet classes that will build strong technique and increase performance confidence. Pre-pointe and pointe work included. Open to dancers 10+. $100
