MAY NEWS

Cadenza Ballet is so pleased to tell you all about some major developments for our school!

NEW DANCE FLOOR

We are happy to announce that Pomegranate Studios has approved our use of professional marley (vinyl) dance floor panels for our classes. CB will be laying panels down as early as Saturday, April 26, 2025 for its classes. Please be patient while we figure out the correct configuration for our classes.

The new flooring panels are professional quality, Harlequin Studio floors. The Harlequin brand is a trusted name in dance studio flooring, and is found in major ballet studios and companies world wide.

We are so proud to be offering our flooring at Pomegranate Studios, our new, official home!

We are exceptionally grateful and appreciative of Myra Krien, owner of Pomegranate Studios, for acknowledging our need and accepting our request.

The Harlequin floor will be installed for our classes and intensives.

CB is so pleased we can now ensure dancer safety with the use of our flooring.

NEW CLASSES

CB is pleased to announce 4 new classes to our schedule!

Commercial Dance Fusion: Sundays, 6:15-7:15PM

This class combines styles of jazz, contemporary, and modern to create a fun and exciting class that allows you to find the joy in movement! Learn choreography similar in style to today's most exciting choreographers: Parris Goebel, Sean Bankhead and more, to current and past music hits! No previous dance experience required! The class is $12 per class or $48 per month.

Turns & Jumps Clinic: Saturdays, 11:15AM-12:00PM

This class allows dancers to learn and improve their technique as it relates to turns and jumps. We break down pirouettes, fouettés, and more turns, as well as petit and grand allegro moves to allow the adult student to build confidence and proficiency in these desired skills. While a dance background is helpful, all are welcome to join this class.

$10/class or $40 per month

Beginning Pointe/Pre-Pointe: Saturdays, 3:15-4:00PM

This class is designed for students beginning theor pointe journey as well as those preparing for pointe work. We do barre exercises and training exercises with therabands to improve strength and mobility in the feet and ankles, as well as strength in the legs while solidifying foundational ballet technique to ensure correct posture sur la pointe.

For those starting their pointe journey, an 1 additional 1 Hour "Get Ready for Pointe" Zoom informational sessions will be held. The first session will guide students through their pointe fitting experience, what to expect, and what to do after the appointment. The second, once pointe shoes have been approved, will go through sewing ribbons and elastics, preparing pointe shoes for class, and how to begin the break-in process, and more. The Zoom classes will be held on an agreed upon date and time by all students, and are required.

For those not quite ready for pointe, demi-pointe shoes may be purchased to begin training the feel of pointe shoes.

$10/class or $40/month

Conditioning: Stretch & Strengthen: Saturdays, 12:00-1:00PM

Our Conditioning class continues! This class builds core strength through refined exercises specifically tailored to the demands of ballet and dance, as well as general exercises to improve overall strength. We also work on improving flexibility through progressive stretching that builds in difficulty. We use Therabands to help improve stretch and flexibility. Students may choose to bring yoga mats to cushion themselves as floor work is a large component of this class. Therabands will be provided to students who do not have their own.

$12/class or $48/month

We hope you will join us for our new classes! We are so excited to be offering these and hope you will enjoy them as much as we love teaching them!
