🎁 The most wonderful time of the year 🎁

We had a great time teaching our holiday class for the beginner ballet students today! We all dressed as reindeers and used little presents as props to teach about proper arm position in ballet. Thank you to all the students and parents who joined us today!

We are still accepting new students! If you have a 5-10yo dancer who would like to try ballet with us, there is one more Saturday Beginner Ballet class this year before the holidays. And don’t forget about our Creative Movement/ Pre-Ballet class for little dancers 3-5yo with Miss Claire and Ms Sarah. Contact us or visit our website for more information.

✨ Meet Miss Claire! ✨
Claire grew up on and off the stage, from her first dance classes at four years old to her university's concerts and musicals. She received a minor in Dance from Georgia College & State University, where she spent four years in study of classical ballet, modern, and jazz, as well as courses in theatre and dance pedagogy. There, she danced in the yearly Bountiful Concert, Nutcracker, Spring Dance Concert, and Community Program Recital. She taught at the GC Community Dance program, traveling to elementary schools around Milledgeville to teach Ballet I and II as part of GC's after-school program, and she was the historian for the GCSU branch of Chi Tau Epsilon.

Her favorite role to date was a contemporary solo performed to The Loneliest Whale - though she loved playing Penny in *Hairspray* her senior year at Arts!Oglethorpe, even if it didn't involve much dancing.

Claire currently teaches Jr/Sr Modern and Sculpt, co-teaches Creative Movement, and assists Ruth with Jr Jazz.

✨ Some Fun Facts! ✨

- Claire holds a B.A. in Creative Writing, and a B.A. in Political Science which she earned alongside her dance minor.
- Claire has three cats who she dresses up for the holidays every year!
- Claire has lived in 6 states!
