Adult Open Classes
Thursday 5:00pm Pilates Teen & Adult
~Did you know?? Joseph Pilates created the exercise technique that bares his name to improve the rehabilitation program for the many returning veterans of WWI. He immigrated to NYC in 1926 where he opened an exercise studio next to NYC Ballet and began teaching and adapting his techniques for healing &
injury prevention for dancers. It is a widespread exercise class now, gaining popularity for it's relaxation, breathing and strengthening mat exercises. It is also known for aiding in back pain.
Closed Classroom Policy
We have a closed classroom policy. This means that NO family and friends (unless approved) will be allowed into the classroom while the class is in session. This will allow the students to focus on the instruction instead of the distraction of having others in the studio. There will be times during the year when others are invited to come in and watch, even participate. Students and parents coming in for the next class are asked to wait outside the classroom until class is over.
Attire Policy
Please be sure that your dancer is dressing appropriately for classes. We still have several students who are not dressed according to the studio uniform for their class. The proper attire sets a standard in class for behavior, respect for the classroom and the style of dance being taught. It also allows the instructors to make necessary corrections, see where improvement is needed, lessens distractions and enables the teacher to praise correct alignment. Hair should be secured in a ponytail, braid or bun, depending on the style of dance (all Monday Ballet classes require buns), with long bangs clipped or pinned out of face. If hair is short, a headband or small ponytail should be in place. Depending on your class(es) the shoes required are: pink leather or canvas ballet slippers, black buckle tap shoes, black leather jazz shoes, black jazz sneakers, black ghillies or foot undeez. Dancers in classes without the correct color leotard and tights will have to sit and watch class. Please be sure to tuck ballet shoe drawstrings in so that we do not have to worry about them coming untied. Also, all female dancers must wear footed or convertible tights. Especially in our Modern and Jazz classes, dancers sometimes work on rolls, high kicks, splits, etc. Girls who are not wearing tights can be inappropriately exposed at these times. Leotards without tights can also ride up and become too revealing. Dance shoes can fit uncomfortably on barefeet; tights can add cushion and reduce friction. Please be sure that dance pants worn in tap and jazz classes are cropped or capri length. Longer pants cause tripping and keep the instructors from being able to see the feet and ankles to make corrections. Underwear can be left off. It is unnecessary under leotards and often makes dancers uncomfortable and embarrassed as it rides down below the leg line of leotards. Dancers will not be allowed to wear underwear at recital so now is a great time to start preparing them. Check the attire policy for your dancers' class on the Class Descriptions page of our website, through your account portal or ask Miss Bri if you are unsure.
