Ballet Ellen
uses the teaching of dance as a way of evoking self-acceptance, beauty,
balance, grace, a sense
of unity, and love for the process of learning. She
aknowledges and nurtures the "dancer
within" in all of her students, regardless of age, body-type, limited
self-belief or
level of training.
She
believes that along with proper placement and technique, the awakening
of expressive truth, musicality
and one's innate creative intelligence are equally important in
empowering dancers in their
ability to use the body as a means of creative self-expression and to
extend the grace of dance
to all of life.
Ellen
is available to teach all levels of ballet for children and adults;
privates, semi-privates and group
classes. A new beginning adult ballet class as well as
beginning pointe (for qualified students)
will start soon.
