Message from Lea Moore, Director…
"Proper body alignment and technique from the onset of training is crucial – whether a recreational dancer or a dancer looking to become professional. The training I offer is based in classical ballet movements and alignment as well as a Pilates-style of stretching and toning, focused on core strengthening. Learning and mastering jazz and ballet technique from the beginning of training allows dancers to progress quickly and safely. All too often I see dancers, especially in jazz, training for the “tricks”, rather then the proper way to execute movements. This type of training increases the risk for injuries, can shorten the performance “life span” of a dancer, and cause permanent muscular damage. I firmly believe in age appropriate movements. Children do not need to be dancing in an adult manner. My instruction is based on positive reinforcement and encouragement. I have witnessed how these methods can be effective in nurturing and influencing students – no matter what level!"
