The faculty
Students learn from the same few teachers as they move up, so each one knows where a student has been.
Director and teacher of the upper levels
Eugenia opened Releve to teach ballet in order, with a live pianist and a barre at the right height for each age. She teaches Fourth and Fifth Position, and she decides with each student when pointe begins.
Teacher, Pre-Ballet to Second Position
Cleo teaches the first three levels, and many students first meet a barre in her class. She leads the summer pre-ballet mornings.
Teacher, Second to Fourth Position
Avelino teaches the middle levels, where turns and jumps start to join up, and he leads the technique weeks in summer.
A placement visit is a good way to meet your teacher.
