Mission Statement:

The object has been and will always be to teach dance with the joy of movement. I hope that it will encourage and foster the love of dance and make it fun for them to learn. The combinations of the three different elements: Classical, Free movement and Character dances will give all of my students a chance to achieve according to their abilities. This in combination with our Mohawk Valley Ballet Productions at the Stanley Theatre, give all our students the opportunity to test their trained skills in a Professional environment.  All students will achieve the following:

	Developing social interaction and friendships
	Encouraging physical discipline and general body awareness and control
	Inspiring a sense of physical and mental confidence
	Encouraging good posture and bodily communication
	Understanding the relationship between music, rhythm and controlled movement
	Providing insight into art forms associated with classical ballet

           fostering future audience appreciation
