Philosophy
We believe that our success comes as a result of providing solid training and quality service, along with an underlying belief in the strength of our organization and the sincere interest in the future of our students.
Ballet training provides the base for most any dancer. This unique process which gradually develops the body in the most balanced, sublime manner has proven to be essential in physical activities such as gymnastics and figure skating; greatly beneficial for achieving proper coordination in almost any sport from swimming to football; and can greatly enhance any lifestyle.
Each of our ballet classes consists of various exercises including barre-work, center placement, stretching, port de bras and turn combinations. Length of class and difficulty of material given differs according to level of achievement, age and physical development. A carefully planned program is provided in ballet, pointe, jazz, tap, and lyrical, modern, hip-hop and creative movement techniques - basic, beginning, intermediate, advanced and pre-professional levels. Our goal is to give each student the knowledge, the correct technique and an appreciation of the beautiful art of dance, or the more extensive training necessary to produce professional dancers. The training at the studio is directed toward beauty of movement, strength, endurance, poise, development of coordination, agility, physical and mental discipline.
Our StarFire faculty is comprised of the areas most accomplished & dedicated professionals and supplemented with some of the country's most respected teachers to create an outstanding resource for students. Our teachers meet regularly to discuss methods, individual students' progress and needs, and to share ideas for the benefit of our school and all of our students. Many teachers can pass along steps, but a truly experienced, professional teacher can guide a young dancer through the gradual process of carefully and individually training their body; helping them not only achieve the unmistakable look of a ballerina, with long lean lines, but also an instrument that is technically strong, allowing freedom of movement and the capability of executing even the most rigorous exercises with grace and style. A good teacher also understands the honor and etiquette of the art, which must be preserved and continued through new generations and will lend insight from their own professional experience.
Dance classes offer children valuable tools for life-long success, including an emotional outlet, discipline, an open mind, creativity, and confidence. We believe that in building the students self-esteem, we will not only enable them to take chances and reach higher goals, but we can help build strong confident people who will excel in everyday life. When dancers give so much of themselves, doing what they love, it is comforting and meaningful to know that we are all among friends. Our goal is to utilize our experience and instincts to make a positive difference; never sacrificing our standards. We welcome enthusiastic families who would like to experience and benefit from the traditions of fine training in a nurturing environment.
Your children can gain these powerful tools as they learn proper dance techniques in exciting and fun-filled dance classes at StarFire Productions, LLC.
