About the School
Setting the Standards
Mission
We are committed to our responsibility to offer our students a caring and professional environment
and to provide the highest level of dance instruction with an appropriate curriculum to children,
teens, and professional dancers, as well as performance opportunities.
Philosophy
Our acdemic and stylistic philosophy is based on traditional classical ballet technique, with an influence
of the American rhythm and style. At Galmont Ballet Centre for Dance Education, Teachers and Students
alike, should regard the ballet class as a ritual to be treasured. They should undertake their activities in the
classroom with the same serious, responsible and disciplined demeanor with which professional dancers
approach dancing in front of an audience.
Principles of Ballet Education in our School
Perfecting Technique * Working with strength to avoid dance injury * Teaching tools *
Problem solving and encouragement * Dealing with different body types *
Using themes in class to simplify work and to lead beginners to upper levels *
The necessary elements of Barre and Center work * Stamina and Breathing *
Fixing problems * Dancing fast, big and clean, with emphasis in acrobatic virtuosity
and turns.
