TERESA LUBARSKY'S HEALDSBURG BALLET

 
 


Healdsburg Ballet’s program serves in the development of its students from their first encounter with music and movement to their emergence as young dancers. The curriculum is carefully designed to introduce the correct professional technique and instruction at the appropriate age and physical development of the student. The students acquire poise, discipline, and self confidence, all of which remain with them for a lifetime, even if students choose not to pursue professional careers.

The focus of training is on the joy of dance and excellence of each level of achievement. We hope you will share our enthusiasm for the benefits that ballet and its interrelationship with the other arts will provide for your child.  We also have a Summer Program which teaches regular classes and choreographic production. 

NOTE:  Summer Dance begins July 7 and ends July 31, 2008.  Visit the Forms & Info page for details and enrollment forms!
