TRAINING AT EVERY AGE
|
WHEN DOES IT ALL BEGIN?
There are many enjoyable pre-ballet/ dance activities incorporating rhythm, music and developing coordination. But the serious study of classical ballet begins between 8-12 years old, when some students are evaluated to be physically and mentally ready for the discipline, strenuous work, as well as for the math of ballet. The age at which classical instruction begins is not as important as making a good start with a good teacher, and being able to concentrate on the activities.
Only regular participation, persistence, and much repetition and practice makes a dancer, but there are many additional benefits to the study of dance that produce good habits for life.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY for students of colleges
and conservatories.

What is an Intensive? For
serious students of dance ready to grow in leaps and bounds. RKB's 3-day and 5-day Intensives are designed for highly motivated teens
and provide the information and guidance for each student to achieve the
next level in his/ her studies.
RKB's "hands on" training, mentoring, and rigorous classes are
tailored to student ability and potential. Full of challenge and discovery.
Small classes include daily technique in ballet and modern, pointe and
variations, repertory, alignment, conditioning, challenge area clinics,
and partnering. Audition tips and training.
Bring an RKB Intensive into YOUR local studio any time, or arrange to send your students to us. (offered
during Presidents Week in February at
RKB
Studio in Soho, NYC.) To schedule a
New York City excursion for your students, Call 212-431-8489.
