BALLET + CONTEMPORARY D A N C E T R A I N I N G

Elevated Forms is designed for dancers of all ages looking for pre-professional training. It consists of in-home or in-studio classes focused on building a strong well-rounded dancer that is ready to enter the commercial or concert professional dance communities. In each session dancers start with exercises tailored to the specific individual’s needs, followed by ballet technique (work in contemporary, jazz, and acrobatic movement can also be included). The flow of each class is designed for each student to fit their individual needs and goals. Dancers are able to work towards completing exams with internationally recognized dance organizations such as American Ballet Theatre and Acrobatic Arts. Beyond working on dance technique, students will receive coaching on the various routes for professional dancers (including college and pre-professional training programs), injury prevention (Sugar Foot Therapy), and invaluable mentorship.

Elevated Forms is proud to include the AMERICAN BALLET THEATRE® National Training Curriculum, a breakthrough 9 level program that combines high quality artistic training with the basics of dancer health and child development. The ABT® National Training Curriculum consists of a comprehensive set of age-appropriate, outcome-based guidelines to provide the highest quality ballet training to dance students of all ages and skill levels. Pre-Primary through Level 7 and Partnering will be taught by ABT® Certified Teacher, Alexandra Roumanis, who has successfully completed the ABT® Teacher Training Intensive in Pre-Primary through Level 7 and Partnering of the ABT® National Training Curriculum.
