Ballet training provides the base for most any dancer. This unique process which gradually develops the body in the most balanced, sublime manner has proven to be essential in physical activities such as gymnastics and figure skating; greatly beneficial for achieving proper coordination in almost any sport from swimming to football; and can greatly enhance any lifestyle. Each of our ballet classes consists of various exercises including barre-work, center placement, stretching, adagio, allegro, port de bras and turn combinations. Length of class and difficulty of material given differs according to level of achievement, age and physical development.

Our CBC faculty is comprised of the areas most accomplished & dedicated professionals and supplemented with some of the country's most respected teachers to create an outstanding resource on par with any of the worlds most recognized schools. Our teachers meet regularly to discuss methods, individual students' progress and needs, and to share ideas for the benefit of our school and all of our students. Many teachers can pass along steps, but a truly experienced, professional teacher can guide a young dancer through the gradual process of carefully and individually training their body; helping them not only achieve the unmistakable look of a ballerina, with long lean lines, but also an instrument that is technically strong, allowing freedom of movement and the capability of executing even the most rigorous exercises with grace and style. A good teacher also understands the honor and etiquette of the art, which must be preserved and continued through new generations and will lend insight from their own professional experience.

We believe that in building the students self-esteem, we will not only enable them to take chances and reach higher goals, but we can help build strong confident people who will excel in everyday life. We never encourage competition; but insist that our students respect and praise each other. When dancers give so much of themselves, doing what they love, it is comforting and meaningful to know that we are all among friends. Our goal is to utilize our experience and instincts to make a positive difference; never sacrificing our standards. We welcome enthusiastic families who would like to experience and benefit from the traditions of fine training in a nurturing environment.
