Dancers in the Regular Division are committed to a full year of classes (September to June), and wish to expand upon and refine their technique and vocabulary. Classes are offered in a variety of dance genres to appeal to many interests, and students are encouraged to register in multiple classes to enhance their technique and stamina. All students enrolled in the 10 month program have the opportunity to perform at the year end recital in June.
* Each dancer registered in our Pre-Intermediate classes and lower are required to purchase an Individual ESD Prop Bag for their classes. These cost $10 and will be automatically added to your first month's tuition. Props are integral part of our program, and due to current health restrictions, we will not be sharing props or housing them in our studio. Your individual ESD Prop Bag includes commonly used dance props inside an ESD dance bag, such as: a scarf, tool for musicality, magic wand, ribbon & more. Each bag will differ slightly depending on level.
REGULAR DIVISION
Classical ballet is characterized by its graceful and fluid movements. Being the foundation of many dance forms, ballet is a disciplined art form in which dancers are taught specific technique and movements.
We follow the Cecchetti syllabus in our ballet classes. The Cecchetti Method of Classical Ballet was developed to educate and prepare dancers with material that is appropriate to their growing bodies. Dancers are required to learn concepts and theories of movement, through a syllabus that teaches the basic structure of each individual step and musical phrasing. Students will learn syllabus from the Cecchetti method, which originated in Italy and is used as standard training in some of the most prestigious ballet schools in the world.
