One Day Workshops
New and returning dancers are welcome! All workshops are a single day, and intended to supplement the dancers ballet training through summer intensives. Dancers should follow the studio's dress code, but hair may be in a pony tail instead of a bun.
Beginning Turns Workshop
Age 4 to 8: Wednesday, July 13, 4:00 - 4:30 pm, $10
Age 9 to 10: contact studio to determine which level is best
Age 11 - adult: Thursday, July 14, 4:00 - 5:00 pm, $15
The age 4 to 8 class is for dancers with limited ballet experience and will focus on the basics of spotting, balance, and rotation.
The age 11 to adult class is best suited to those who have already begun to learn turn basics in their normal ballet classes, and are ready to develop hone their turning skills through a combination of drills, strengthening exercises, and technique discussion.
Because our 9 to 10 year old dancers can fall into either category, these dancers should ask for an individual recommendation from Miss Zachari.
