Ballet & Pointe
MGM Dance teaches the Cecchetti method as a basic foundation for superb technique. Uncommon in this area, we also teach the beautiful, classic, Russian, Vaganova method, known for its exquisite style and strength. These two schools are incorporated to produce a graceful, strong dancer with style, as stunning on stage as in class. This is evidenced by the caliber of our performers.
Classes are available from age four through adult in all levels. Placement is based on age as well as skill level. All dancers are also taught performance techniques.
Auditions for pointe shoes are held once a year to ensure the readiness of each individual dancer. Students who are put on toe shoes too early risk permanent injury. The safety of our dancers is just as important as the aesthetic value. Therefore, we are extremely cautious with our decisions to advance students on to pointe. However, pre-pointe classes are offered for those students working toward pointe shoes. This enables students to fine tune any problem areas and to work specifically to strengthen muscles and technique. This process has proven itself valid by producing strong dancers year after year.
Our teaching methods are based on the conviction that every child CAN learn, and every child will benefit from dance, the most elegant of all the performing arts.
