Academy Spotlight

In our ACADEMY program we guide our students to reach their fullest potential in ballet, in a creative and nurturing way.

Our ballet curriculum is based on the American Ballet Theater certified teaching program, and incorporates Vaganova, Cecchetti, and Balanchine Techniques.

All children & teens are welcome from the ages of 3 and up. Our classes are aimed to help the young dancer acquire a solid dance foundation, both technically as well as artistically. As part of their dance training, students have the chance to take part in our school performances.

Testimonials

"I go to the adult ballet class 2x a week at TDC. Ballerinas of all ages meet in these classes & dance themselves fit together. It's a lot of fun!"

Fabienne, 44

"At the Dance Center I feel at home. The teachers educate with a lot of love and passion. The lessons are varied and you are both challenged as well as encouraged."

Giulia, 23

"With ballet I have the best opportunity to maintain balance and good posture... and even improve it. Thanks to ballet I can focus and concentrate better at work and in my daily life. Because of all these things I am still very fit mentally and physically. The classes are very well structured and fun. Ballet is for young and old and I can really highly recommend it 😊"

Andrea, 50

"I feel very comfortable in this special atmosphere! Ballerinas of all ages are in my class. Very young ones to seasoned golden girls. It's fun to work out even at an advanced age and in this way stay fit and agile!"

Janine, 61
