Artistic Directors & Faculty

Ballet is both an artistic and moral discipline. Not all dancers are endowed with what we now think of as a dancer's body or a natural turn out. This does not mean, however, that these individuals should not be given the opportunity to succeed in a dance career.

Ballet enlarges one's character and the discipline of the art enables the student to learn more about him- or herself. Ballet is also an international language and a mode of communication. It crosses national boundaries and has become a medium for cross-cultural understanding.

In our teaching we endeavor to communicate to our students the sense of wonder and beauty that characterize the many-faceted nature of the world of ballet.
