Ballet

with Melissa Schade

  class information (ongoing)

Tuesdays 10-11:30AM, $12 per class

class description Wake up and prepare to take on your day in a lovely sunlit studio, to a mish-mash of contemporary and classical music, by dancing and sweating up a storm in this high-octane class. My class is a traditionally structured ballet class with barre and center exercises that will hone your technique as well as burn those calories and keep a smile on your face. And my class is for everyone: the work will be mostly intermediate to advanced, but there will be room left for modifying the choreography in order to make it as difficult or as easy as one desires.

So, come and wake up with me and bring whoever else wants to come; the more the marrier. Oh, and don't be surprised if when dancing piques across the floor you'll find me running next to you encouraging energy, technique, and passion!

about Melissa Melissa Schade grew up in Phoenix, Arizona and has been immersed in the dance culture since the age of 3. Betty Johnson's School of Dance was where she got her serious dance training, as well as summers at the Broadway Theater Project and the Boulder Jazz Dance Workshop. Upon graduation from high school, she attended The University of Arizona where she received her BFA in dance. Melissa danced briefly with IDT in Boulder, Colorado before moving to Los Angeles, CA. While living in LA she is a current member of The LA Contemporary Dance Company and The Pin-Down Girls. Melissa has also dabbled in commercial and stage work since living in lovely Los Angeles. Melissa also loves to teach dance. She has been teaching many different styles of dance since the age of 16, and has taught ages 3 and up all over the country. She cannot wait to teach the art of dance to you!

Since Melissa practically grew up in a studio, she has had time to observe that the key to an excellent ballet class is reflected by the passion exhibited by the instructor. Thus, students leave Melissa's class charged with satisfaction and a desire to return for another dose of the delight of dance.
