New Pre-Ballet this Fall

Pre-ballet introduces the fundamentals of a structured dance class in a fun, noncompetitive way! Children will gain confidence as they learn the vocabulary of ballet, are taught basic stretches and barre exercises, and are given opportunities to move to music. This class is designed to encourage an early love of dance!
Our dance teacher Sierra is a formally trained dancer who has studied classical ballet, Horton, jazz, majorette and other styles. Born in Washington, D.C., she spent her early childhood in Florida before returning to the nation’s capital and attending the prestigious Duke Ellington School for the Arts, where she trained under renowned instructors Charles Augins and Sandra Fortune. Sierra has danced and placed with Structures Performing Arts Academy at Star Dance, NUVO Dance Convention and other competitions. At Morgan State University, Sierra performed with the marching band’s "Foxxy" dance line for three years. She enjoys using her training and experience to help students of all ages in the DMV and beyond.
