TBS FALL DANCE INTENSIVE We are excited to provide our competition team the opportunity to experience a New York City type dance intensive right in Bordentown, NJ at our studio this fall! Each dance intensive will run on Saturdays (please see dates above), from 1:00-5:00. Cost of the workshop is $60. Students will be taught ballet, lyrical, jazz, and contemporary technique. We are pleased to announce that our two master teachers for the fall are Michael Susten and Kaitlyn Seitz. Michael earned his BFA from University of the Arts, Philadelphia and is the creator and director of Xhale Modern Dance Company. He continues to dance professionally for the Walt Disney World Resorts. Kailtyn is a graduate of George Mason University where she earned her BFA in dance. She choreographs for local studios and Mercer Dance Ensemble. All junior and senior competitive dancers are required to attend one-four hour dance intensive. Leotards, tights, jazz pants, or booty shorts may be worn. Please bring all dance shoes. Hair must be up and pulled back off the face. Registration and fees are due by Wednesday, SEPTEMBER 28th. All checks should be made payable to The Ballet Studio and are non-refundable.

TBS PEE WEE COMPETITION Our new 2011-2012 Pee-Wee class, which we are also excited about, will be required to take at least 5 hours of ballet class during the dance year. This class will help students to develop their ballet technique which is necessary for competing. Students are asked to wear a leotard, tights, ballet shoes, and have the hair up and off the face. You will have the opportunity to make your own schedule and sign up for 5 or more hours which are convenient for you any time from September until June. The Ballet for the Serious Dancer Class meets on Sundays from 4:30-5:30. The fee is $60. Additional classes are also welcomed at $12 per class. Registration and fee are due by Wed. September 28th.
