The 

Dance Star

Difference

"A structure that doesn't bind the imagination."

Anne’s classes offer a sophisticated balance between structure and imagination, technical proficiency and creative expression, discipline and fun. People could traverse the world for years, and still fail to find such world-class teachings that are accessible, non-alienating, and contemporary.

Beliefs

“If you can kick your leg high that's good.
But it's not art."

  • Unless you have affiliation to infinity, your movements are only robotic, muscular. That is not art.
  • Music is in daily life, within the body.
  • You can't dance unless you feel the music.
  • Ballet is a reflection of music.
  • There is no such thing as failure, only another opportunity to learn and grow.
  • Technique and accuracy is important, and so is unique expression.
  • Self-discipline needs to be the driver to fuse the mind, body, and soul.
  • A syllabus is a guideline and there to serve the student’s growth, not the other way around.
  • Concert and performance is a way to learn.

  • Want to learn in an environment that is structured, safe, and conducive to their journey of self-discovery and creative expression.
  • Understand that flashy and quick-fix is not in the best interest of their learning.

In addition to that, it is important for parents to understand that developing a child’s unique talents and providing them the foundation for life is a team effort, sending them to a dance school is not an after-school daycare center, and teachers are not babysitters.
