Each focuses on ballet, but we also offer a variety of classes such as Pointe, Modern, Improvisation and Dance Making, Contemporary and Turns, Leaps and Jumps. The workshops are designed for those students who desire the best training available and for those who are up for the challenge of a serious ballet workshop.

The basics of ballet and modern dance will be covered in this workshop. The emphasis will be on individual attention and the personal growth of each dancer. This workshop is great for students who want to improve their technique. It is recommended for students who are preparing to audition for Performing Arts High Schools in the fall.
PRE-POINTE WORKSHOP
Pre-pointe level workshop for students ages ages 12 and up. By placement only. This workshop is designed for dancers who are interested in taking pointe work in the future. Pre-pointe exercises based on the Vaganova Method are the focus of this workshop. It is recommended for students who have been taking ballet at least 2x a week over the past year or by teacher recommendation. This workshop meets for 1.25 hours 2x a week: Tuesdays and Thursdays 7:30-8:45 PM

This workshop will focus on continuing pointe work and is designed for dancers with 3 or more years of pointe work. This class is by placement only. The pointe portion of the class will follow a ballet technique class to ensure that the entire body, especially the feet and ankles, are properly warmed up for pointe. The class will continue with strengthening exercises at the barre in preparation for more center and across-the-floor pointe combinations.
*The Ballet Workshops at Astoria Dance Centre focus on safe, proper instruction of pre-pointe, beginning pointe technique and intermediate level pointe. These workshops are under the direction of Maureen Gelchion, School Director.
