warm-up and cool down skills, and introductory techniques. Students graduate into Pre-Ballet at age 5, building coordination, turn-out, and
skill, and then move through Ballet I through V learning higher level techniques, musicality, and barre work while increasing flexibility and poise.
All dancers must wear pink leotard, pink tights, pink ballet shoes with hair off face or wear white t-shirt, black sweatpants, and black ballet
shoes. Adults may wear comfortable clothing with pink ballet shoes.

costumes.

plays and musicals and incorporate the BAC TECHIES class to help get the production up and running. Students learn audition tech-

  The classic story of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped under
  the spell of an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will be transformed into
