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).

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.
