Programs & Classes
Ballet
Cecchetti USA
The Cecchetti Method of ballet is a progressive system of training taking dancers from beginning level to professional levels. The Method was designed with careful regard to the laws of anatomy to prepare a dancer’s body to bear the physical demands of dance technique. The Method embodies qualities that are essential to the dancer; balance, poise, strength, elevation, elasticity, musicality and artistry.
Dance Arts is the only Studio in Gillette certified to teach the Cecchetti Method.
Modern
Horton Technique
The Lester Horton Technique emphasizes a whole body, anatomical approach to dance that includes flexibility, strength, coordination and body and spatial awareness to enable unrestricted, dramatic freedom of expression. This technique is often taught at conservatory dance programs and professional modern companies.
Dance Arts is the only Studio in Gillette offering the Horton technique.
