We are looking forward to another fabulous summer of wide-eyed youngsters enjoying ballet day and older dancers strengthening their bodies and honing their talents. Summer is a great time to students new to the art form to experience it for the first time. Students already acquainted with ballet will enjoy the many hands on camps that will engage other facets of their creativity. Older dancers will benefit form core strengthening and intense training that can only be accomplished during the summer when the scholastic demand on their time is no longer there.
Classes are offered in 3 week sessions and are continuations of our popular school year program. Current students have a wonderful opportunity to continue on with their familiar themes and dances from the past school year and enjoy "Ballet Day" with new summer themes and movements. Summer classes are an excellent introduction to NBB for new families. All students will benefit as they progress to the next level in the School Year. More information is on the Ballet Babies Page. Our 3 year old students also can take our Preschool Ballet Stories camps.
NBB offers pre-ballet classes and camps for preschoolers during our Summer Session. The pre-ballet classes are offered in 3 week sessions and are continuations of our popular school year program. Current students enjoy familiar themes and routines from the past school year and enjoy "Ballet Day" with new summer themes and movements. Details are on the Preschoolers page.
Beginner Ballet students immerse themselves in the entire production when they participate in our Ballet Live! productions. They are in charge (with guidance from Miss Laura) to create their own interpretation of a classic ballet story - see the Ballet Stories & Ballet Live page for all the details. Beginners will benefit from our Young Dancer's Workshop - we've condensed a lot of learning and experiencing into a few short weeks so dancers get prepared for the coming performance year yet have plenty of time to be youngsters. Information on our Young Dancer's Workshop is on the Workshop/Intensives Page.
Intermediate Intensive will emphasize classic ballet and pointe training, Pilates conditioning, elements of choreography, and costume design. Intensive details are on the Workshops/Intensives page.
Ballet is not only a graceful, elegant form of dance, but can also be an outstanding way to stay in shape. Adult ballet lessons are becoming more popular in dance studios across the country. Adults everywhere are slipping on their ballet slippers and taking advantage of these classes everyday.
Joseph H. Pilates developed a unique system of stretching and strengthening exercises over ninety years ago that is today known as the Pilates method of body conditioning. It strengthens and tones muscles, improves posture, provides flexibility and balance, unites body and mind, and creates a more streamlined shape. Miss Laura follows the techniques prescribed by Master Instructor Romana Kryzanouska.
