Forever Dancing
The Alexandria Ballet School program is divided into three divisions.
For age 3 to 5 I have written a syllabus called “Little Dancers” This is a course which uses many elements including
pre ballet, yoga stretches with illustrating stories, dance locomotor steps, and the stories and music of classical and
modern dance with creative movement.
The age 6 to 9 groups use a syllabus called “Young Dancers”. In this program students technique develops in
complexity and control and moves closer to classical ballet.
After the age of 9 students study classical ballet. My ballet classes combine two different schools of training: The
Vagonova - Russian Kirov technique with the more alignment conscious Royal Ballet English system.
I believe in very "academic" recitals. The recitals should display the training and vocabulary developed during the
school year, rather than be a parade of costumes, soon to be outgrown. The picture above shows the recital costume.
Student recitals are individualized by age group or class group.
We have individual recitals for each group of students on the last class of May where friends family and cameras are
welcome. These are in-studio where the students are most comfortable. This is our policy in order to prioritize
technique, it also creates a positive individualized approach, and dancers who can choose to study professionally
based on a solid foundation.
