Dance, Ballet
Styles - Standard set is used for the ballet classes, in addition to adding old and current styles of music.
Techniques - A blend of Cecchetti, Vaganova and French methods of classical ballet are the techniques used in class.
Sandra likes students to feel welcome and relaxed when entering her classes. She sees them as dancers when we first begin and hope they will have fun while seeing the class to be a doable challenge for them.
She is delighted when the dancer/student becomes aware of their own body and that they are feeling the changes happening. Self awareness, self discovery is more important as the movement is secondary and with time the steps will come.
