School Calendar 2023 - 2024

L'Ecole de Danse

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.
