Ballet Children

Auditions for Buckman Ballet Program
Ages 13-17yrs
The Advanced Program for Children's Ballet is a wonderful program where dancers learn the grace, beauty, and poise of classical ballet based upon Dmitri Roudnev's unique training method that enables dancers to increase their extension, develop elegance of port de bras (arms and head), and height and quickness of jumps. The program offers ballet, pointe, variations (classical choreography), and contemporary dance set to pop and rock, all taught by only the best instructors. Dancers perform at the Buckman Center in the acclaimed Children's Ballet classical Nutcracker as well as the Spring recital that features famous ballets such as Cinderella as well as contemporary choreography.

Dear Mary, Marjorie Ann attended her first class today with Erin who was extra sweet and encouraging to Marjorie Ann. I wanted to email you to let you know how sweet Erin was to make her feel welcome as a new student. I am very impressed with her magic over the children. I have enjoyed listening to the praise she gives each and every child. Thank you for opening up a whole new world to my daughter. I can tell that a love for Ballet will be instilled in my daughter.

-Respectfully, Karla T.

Mary: First, thank you for all the work that you do in putting together an excellent program for children. The attention, patience and skill provided by your instructors, combined with the variety of schedule, make the program definitely worth the drive from Arkansas. Thanks again for all you do!

Thank you for the past two years...Hattie has had so much fun with Miss Erin and Miss Mary as her teachers. She always learns so much and loves to show it off at home. And we loved the recital. The costumes are always perfect and sweet for their age and they just looked adorable!

Each week my daughter can't wait to go to ballet class at Children's Ballet. She enjoys learning the dances and practicing the positions. I have been so pleased to see her coordination and confidence grow by leaps and grand jetes ! She's even decided that when she grows up she wants to be on stage just like Miss Mary.
