Teaching Philosophy: Jan Chamberlin
Dance is a natural form of expression and movement that all people possess. Within a nurturing environment I strive to give my students a strong technical background based on the fundamentals of both dance and kinesiology. Artistically, students are encouraged to use dance as a form of expression. At the end of class, I hope spirits have been lifted and bodies strengthened.

Students may enter dance classes mid-session (pro-rated).
Call for sibling discount and payment options.

Introduction to Ballet
Jan Chamberlin
Discover the joy of ballet through these introductory classes. Each session includes learning the basic ballet steps and a barre warm up. Then have fun as we put your new moves together in centre and traveling combinations. Ballet develops proper placement while improving strength, flexibility, coordination and grace. The benefits of studying ballet are numerous and last a lifetime.
