Our teachers have regular police checks done, like a day school. Unlike other dance programs we do not have senior students or teenagers teaching our recreational classes. Even our 3 year old students benefit from the highest quality of teaching instruction. Live accompanists (not CD's) are used in all our junior through senior ballet classes, to help round off this exceptional recreational program.

All junior to senior students have the opportunity to audition for our highly acclaimed special training program and ourcompetitive dance program; which represents the school at various competitions throughout the year.

Acrobatics

Acrobatics is one of the performing dance arts, and is also practiced as a sport. Acrobatics involves difficult feats of balance, agility and coordination such as aerials, back and front walkovers, cartwheels, back and front handsprings to mention just a few of these very athletic moves. Nearly any performance or sport which involves any of these movements can be considered acrobatics. Its use of music and its overlap with jazz movements make it a very exciting and energetic form of dance.

Students are placed according to age and prior experience. Classes are held Monday through Sunday, with a variety of options to choose from throughout the week. All programs are based on a set syllabus to insure that a consistently high standard of instruction is maintained throughout all levels.

The teachers provide each student in the General Division with two written evaluations per year. These reports provide students and parents with useful information on each individual’s progress.
