A summer morning

What a morning is like

A summer morning starts with the barre, moves to the center, and ends with something lighter: a short piece, a game with the pianist or a quiet half hour of stretching and stories. Students bring a water bottle and a snack.

  • Two ballet classes a day in the technique weeks

  • A snack break, and a grown-up to meet at the door

  • A showing for families at the end of the performance week

A wide view of a studio with children as small figures at a distance, leaping across the floor with a teacher
