ZTalk #3 : THE CREATORS OF THE "BALLET HELP DESK" You have questions? They have answers!
- Two moms who had children who wanted to pursue ballet. They did not know a lot about the process to get from recreational ballet to professional training. Find out how they did this through trial-and-error. Their two children who are adults are not professional ballet dancers. Together these two wonderful people developed a podcast to shed some light and transparency into the process of young artists either going into the professional world or into college (performing arts). They are here to help.
- Saturday, April 18, 7:00pm - 8:30 pm (one night only!)
- As parents, you play a crucial role in supporting your dancer's ballet path and we know navigating the world of ballet training can be challenging. The Ballet Help Desk is here to help.
- We also invite studio directors and ballet teachers to hear & learn some very important updated information about the ballet world.
- This event will be hosted by Dawn Sue.You can find her at Zohar as Ballet sub teacher, carpooling as a mom of three, more carpooling as a mom of a "bunhead", and at Zohar taking ballet classes.

SUMMER DANCE INTENSIVE (SDI) JUNE 15 - 19
Experience the transformation that happens when you train for five consecutive days. Consistent, focused work accelerates growth in ways that weekly classes simply can’t. Throughout this intensive, dancers gain a deeper understanding of how their bodies function, how they individually process and retain movement, and how to integrate corrections quickly and effectively.
- Designed to build strength, agility, and technical clarity, this immersive experience equips dancers with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to elevate their training — and see measurable progress in just one week.
- SDI will be 5 days of dancing beginning Monday, June 15 - Friday, June 19.
Times: MONDAY - WEDNESDAY, 10:30am - 5pm/ THURSDAY, 9:00 am - 4:00 pm/ FRIDAY, 10:30 am - 4:00pm
This is for anyone 14 yo and up. All levels of dance welcomed.
- Dance Classes will consist of: Ballet, Jazz, Musical Theater Choreography, Tap, Luigi Technique, Contemporary, and Modern.
