leaps ahead
Leaps Ahead classes will provide an introduction to the training tradition of classical ballet, including instruction in physical conditioning, developing the ability to concentrate and lengthen the attention span, developing the visual and aural memory, learning to understand and apply verbal corrections, and learning to work in concert with the other members of the class (spatially, musically, and technically). Students will learn basic classroom protocol, fundamental terminology and the movements and exercises of classical ballet. An important element of this introductory training is the development of the students' interest and appreciation of the performing arts and their opportunity to explore dance as an expressive and creative outlet.
Leaps Ahead Includes:
• A 45 minute instructional period at Tulsa Ballet's state of the art facility.
• Class includes ballet technique with TBCDE faculty and live piano accompaniment.
• Appropriate class uniform for each child, at no cost.
• Three tickets to attend a Tulsa Ballet Performance and a commemorative t-shirt.
The program currently runs in sessions of 6 weeks with students attending one day per week. These sessions are available on a first come first serve basis. They will be held September through November.
Tulsa Ballet artistic staff evaluates the participating students at the end of each session and offer scholarship opportunities to up to two talented students. Tulsa Ballet Center for Dance Education is evaluated by participating staff at the end of each session.
