Summer 2020

Midwest School of Ballet is dedicated to developing a well rounded, versatile and whole dancer. We use methods designed to not only build strength and technical skill, but also encourage exploration, foster creativity, self-confidence and artistry.  Classes are infused with terminology, history, and encourage students to see dance outside of the studio as well as be ambassadors and advocates for dance.

​

As your student grows into the upper levels, their technique classes will be rooted in the Cecchetti technique.  The Cecchetti Method is a progressive dance training system carefully designed to build in complexity emphasizing mechanics, technique, musicality and artistry from pre-ballet to the professional level.  Midwest School of Ballet's upper ballet classes are taught utilizing Cecchetti's set syllabus exercises along with the instructor's own sequences engaging the student to be a well rounded and versatile dancer. Famous dancers such as Pavlova and Nijinsky were under Cecchetti's tutelage and still today Cecchetti training has continued to produce many famous dancers..
