Hello new Maryland dance friends. To be near family, I have recently moved to this beautiful area. For the last twenty years I oversaw 'American Ballet School' in North Carolina. I look forward to working with the talented dancers of the the Gaithersburg/Rockville Community. Let me tell you a little about 'American Ballet School'.
Following is an outline of the traditional program of the study of ballet. It can be applied to other dance forms as well. If this program is pursued aggressively it can produce an entry level, professional dancer by the time the student becomes 19 or 20 years old. This course of study is detailed in the PRE-PROFESSIONAL PROGRAM.
Ballet is a classical art form with a tradition that goes back hundreds of years. Through the study of ballet one can achieve a level of physical perfection that is arguably unmatched among all the types of physical training including sport. The study of ballet is an intrinsic part of the study of many other dance styles.
At American Ballet School we believe that performance should be an integral part of dance training. Participation in performances is not required but it is encouraged. Lifetime memories are created while children learn valuable performance skills. We offer a variety of performance experiences for our students.
