Here is more from Lauren about her program going into the Fall:
"Come September, I am looking forward to expanding my offerings to more classes during the week as well.
I also wanted to take a moment to talk about my approach and philosophy of teaching children the art of ballet.
It’s essential to me that their first experiences be filled with delight and magic.
Introducing dance technique in a thoughtful, developmentally appropriate manner so that the children are ready for it. Also, so that they get to truly be young artists in motion! All the steps are to convey a feeling, transform into a character, and tell a story. And then, when they are ready, to dive into ballet technique with the excitement and intellect! I am here to ditch the idea that ballet is boring or rigid 😜. It’s a balance of weaving ballet terminology and concepts in with our creative games. It's so important that our dance environment is supportive of their whole person.
And of course, as the children move up through the levels, they are introduced to more complex steps, choreography, etc.
I have been a teacher for about 25 years now, so I have seen dancers blossom from young children playing trolls and fairies into strong, confident dancers through college and beyond to professional dancing. I hope to think the freedom to express themselves gave them the gift of confidence and artistic maturity down the line😉. Also the most important lesson, that dancing is joy🧚🏻✨. "
