Reaching Heart School of Ballet is proud to include the AMERICAN BALLET THEATRE National Training Curriculum, a breakthrough 9 level program that combines high quality artistic training with the basics of dancer health and child development. The ABT National Training Curriculum consists of a comprehensive set of age-appropriate, outcome -based guidelines to provide the highest quality ballet training to dance students of all ages and skill levels. Pre- primary through level 5 will be taught by ABT Certified teacher, Melissa Heart, who has successfully completed the ABT teacher training intensive in Pre-primary through level 5 of the ABT National Training Curriculum.
We offer ballet for beginners to pre-professional training. Practice and improve your technique with our professional teaching staff. Although our program is challenging at every level we strive to keep the joy of movement and the love of dancing from our hearts and souls a part of every class. Empty precise technique can only go so far... it is when students fully embrace their own spirit in their dancing that the audience feels tingles. "Go ahead girls make me cry!"... is often a request from Miss Melissa. There are magical memorable moments we stop in our routine to acknowledge the growth of a classmate who has conquered a fear, and given themselves fully to the magic of dance!
Some children try dance and enjoy it for a year or two. Other children know from an early age that this is what they are destined to pursue. A third group of dancers try it, enjoy it, leave it for a short while and come back again with a new sense of comitment! We welcome all dancers! Every class is an opportunity for growth that will shape your child's self esteem and love of dance. For those children who truly catch the "dance bug"... Reaching Heart School of Ballet will become a second home full of memories they will always cherish.
