Additional Offerings

Intermediate Ballet Technique

This class is designed to deepen classical ballet technique for dancers who already have acquired the fundamentals. Rooted in the Vaganova method with influences of the Balanchine aesthetic, each class offers a complete and structured experience including warm up, barre, center work and choreography.

Classes run 1.5 to 2hrs. Dancers who have achieved pointe work are welcome to wear their pointe shoes at the barre.

This is an open class welcoming anyone to drop in and train with us!

Currently held at Joan Lynn Dance Company, Hamden CT.

Advanced Ballet Small Group Sessions

This class is an intimate, high level training experience designed for the serious dancer who is ready to take their training beyond technique and into true artistry.

Built around a focused small group format of 3 to 5 dancers, Advanced Ballet offers the attention of private coaching within the energy of a group training environment. This is not a drop in class, it is a dedicated space for serious dancers who are committed to their craft and ready to do the deep work.

Each session is designed to move beyond the technical and into the artistic. We explore the full expressive range of ballet, refining movement quality, cultivating artistry, developing acting skills and building the kind of stage presence that sets a dancer apart.

Pointe shoes can be worn throughout the entire class and choreography is an integral part of every session.

This class is an ideal training ground for dancers preparing for professional auditions, company work, and competitive collegiate programs including Bachelor of Fine Arts and Bachelor of Arts in Dance at conservatories and universities across the country.

If you are ready to grow into the dancer you are meant to be, we would love the opportunity to work with you.
