Pre Ballett (Thomas) class explores basic dance
technique as the children exercise their imaginations through working
with ideas, images and stories. Self expression through music and
movement form the basis for further dance study.

Modern
Ballet (Thomas) Ballet and modern dance techniques are
the basis for a style of teaching that strives to allow the body
to develop naturally while offering increasing technical challenges.
Through floor exercises, barre work, improvisation and learning
choreography, we build strong technique while retaining the creative
spirit. Isadora Duncan, the mother of modern dance, described the
goal of this style of teaching as striving to achieve the "highest
intelligence in the freest body".
