Welcome to the Wakefield Ballet.
We are now going on our third year of offering Ballet and Creative Movement classes to children and adults here in Wakefield Quebec. I was a professional Ballet dancer for 16 years and have had the privilege of working in some of the most prestigious companies in the world including American Ballet Theatre. Now retired, I want to share my love,passion and extensive knowledge of the art form I love so dearly with the community I now call home. I have had the wonderful opportunity to work with many of the children and adults here in the community and look forward to meeting many more with the upcoming year. Should you have any questions regarding classes, scheduling or just require more information, please contact me.

Fall 2011 Session is now taking enrollment.

Once again summer has gone by much too quickly and it is now time to get back into the swing of things. This year, I will be offering the Creative Movement classes for younger and older children as well as a new PreBallet class for children ages 5-7.
The Creative Movement classes focus on movement without a structured syllabus. Before learning names and positions, children must first learn what it is to move their bodies and all the wonderful things the can do with them. We use games, stories and lots of imagination to help guide the children through this. Children are encouraged to contribute to the creative process of the class which helps them build confidence as well as help promote their social interactions. It is very open and parents are welcome to accompany their children in class if the child should need it.
The PreBallet class will be an introduction to the terminology and techniques used in classical ballet. This class will be much more structured and disciplined than the Creative Movement classes. Children will be expected to follow direction and maintain a quiet and respectful attitude during the class. We will work on the foundation steps as well as posture, coordination, strengthening and stretching. There is a dress code for this class and parents are not permitted in the classroom.
Also being offered again is the ever popular Adult Ballet. This is an open level, open age class for adults who are looking for a different way to exercise. Work on strength, flexibility, coordination, and posture all while having fun and learning something new. No experience is necessary all that is required is a sense of humor and the ability to laugh and enjoy yourself.

The children’s classes are held at the La Grange Yoga studio in Wakefield. The Adult class is held at the Rupert Community Centre.
