The Ballet Method is based on 2 day, 12 hour workshop for dance instructors looking to enhance their teaching techniques and extend their knowledge of ballet curriculum. Our workshops include instruction and practicums in ballet technique, feedback, lesson planning, music, attire and more, focused on one of our four modules. Prior video evaluation, or a pre-workshop class with your students, can help us identify needs and customize your workshop. You can choose from attending a regional workshop or creating a tailored private workshop for your own studio.
Further consultation and Master Classes are also available, for an additional fee.
