Program
Ballet Training with Mr. Du
Comprehensive ballet training through the Vaganova method to help dancers reach their goals.
Structured study of classical ballet technique, including its artistry and nuances.
Overview
Ballet Class
The goal is to refine the physical understanding of classical ballet’s technical expectations while exploring artistry and developing strength and flexibility.
I believe diligence, discipline, and a good work ethic are keys to success.
We all come from different backgrounds in terms of natural and physical abilities and personalities.
By applying yourself well, you will ultimately achieve your personal goal.
