L'Ecole de Danse

School Calendar 2025 - 2026

Our ballet studio stresses not only self-discipline, correct body placement and traditional French terminology, but also encourages self-expression and confidence in movement through positive reinforcement to instill the love of dance in each student.  An annual performance is given each spring allowing students in Creative Movement, Ballet, Lyrical and Modern Dance the opportunity to perform in a full-length ballet program.  

A special thank you goes to the Maryland State Arts Council for the Independant Artist Grant awarded to Barbara Winner in April of 2024. To discover more about the Maryland State Arts Council and how they impact Maryland, visit msac.org
