| BALLET
- 5 years old & Up
Ballet
is an exciting, exhilarating, inspiring art form that
teaches students the beauty of dance and movement. This
discipline instils good posture, grace, and self-discipline
to promote a healthy lifestyle. Classes are offered
to children ages 5 years and up, that range from beginner
to professional levels.
The
Vaganova Technique
Studio
Encore is very fortunate to be able to offer dance students
the opportunity to learn the Vaganova Technique. The
Vaganova technique has an unparalleled system for teaching
classical ballet and character, developing a clear,
strong and concise method of teaching strength, harmony,
balance and expression.
With
the defection of such famous dancers as Nureyev and
Baryshnikov, North America has had the opportunity to
experience the incredible and extraordinary training
of the Vaganova Technique. We have seen the immersion
of Russian trained dancers and teachers available to
pass on their knowledge and experience. Both the Royal
Winnepeg Ballet and the National Ballet schools have
incorporated this system as their basic training program.
Although it has been around for many years, the Russian
Vaganova system is now fast becoming the training system
of the future. Millions of children worldwide are studying
this system of ballet that has and continues to produce
the most outstanding world-renowned ballet dancers and
teachers.
Students
training in other dance forms are encouraged to take
a ballet class in conjunction with their chosen dance
style. Ballet will help to develop a strong technical
dancer.
