Rockland School of Ballet a note from the studio It is that time of year once again. Rockland School of Ballet classes begin on September 8th, and we are so excited about all of the new opportunities we have to offer. Open House was a huge success, and we would like to take a moment to thank those dancers and their families who came to the studio to register for classes. It was a pleasure to meet some new dancers and see some familiar faces. For those who were not able to come to the open house but
would still like to register, it is not too late! Please contact Miss Emily at: [email protected] or 207.542.3556.
In this issue of From The Barre we will be highlighting the different programs offered at Rockland School of Ballet this year. We have been hard at work this summer improving our knowledge and learning new skills to bring back to class and teach to our students.
So slip on your dancing shoes and meet us at the
studio. We cannot wait to begin dancing this year.

Leap ‘n Learn was founded and developed by dance teacher Beverly Spell and child psychologist Annie Spell to encourage young dancers to be happy and thrive within their dance classes. It was also
created with the intention of helping studios and instructors excel at teaching creative movement and ballet based in education.
It is a goal of Leap ‘n Learn to maintain the highest quality of teaching by providing welcoming, nurturing and encouraging environments for all
students. The early childhood dance program is designed
for boys and girls ages three to seven, and Ballet I and II are designed for students ages eight to twelve.
All Leap ‘n Learn programs aim to build strong foundations in dance.
In addition to introducing and learning the
basics of dance, Leap ‘n Learn is a strong advocate of proper and positive classroom behavior. Students learn the basics of taking turns, following another
dancer or leading the group, waiting patiently, working with others, and having a positive attitude in class.
Through the use of the Leap ‘n Learn
curriculum, children in the early childhood program will build a strong foundation and love of
movement. Leap ‘n Learn is a proven source for future education in dance and sports by helping children create strong foundations of understanding and awareness of movement, music, and creative
problem solving. Rockland School of Ballet follows the Leap ‘n
Learn curriculum in the early childhood education
program as well as in Pre-Ballet and Primary Ballet. All Rockland School of Ballet instructors are licensed Leap ‘n Learn instructors and have the
highest standards and best interests of each and every dancer.
Our goal is to provide dancers with a fun and meaningful experience at dance class where they will
grow to not only love to dance but will continue to learn along the way.

Leap ‘n Learn Level IBaby Dancers - 3 years
Three year olds are quite new to learning
how their bodies move as well as how to behave in a classroom. They are gently introduced to the classroom environment
and will focus on exploring creativity while having fun through pretend play.
Some concepts taught include: stretching
feet, jumping, balancing on one leg, arm movements, weight transfers, and moving across the floor.
Leap ‘n Learn Level II Baby Dancers - 4 years
Building upon the previous year’s work, students at this age learn to further control their movements. They also begin to learn
concepts such as first position, patterns, partners and opposites.
Leap ‘n LearnTiny Dancers - 4 years
This class is the equivalent of Baby Dancers Level I and II and is taught on North Haven Island.
Leap ‘n LearnPre-Ballet - 5 & 6 yearsThe five-year-old class continues to work
with similar movement concepts as in previous years. Dancers continue pretend play with greater complexity. Pre-ballet
movement, creative movement, musical awareness, partnering, balance and gross motor development are all concepts explored in this class.
Leap ‘n LearnPrimary Ballet - 7 years At age seven children move into the
Primary Ballet level; a transition between the Early Childhood Program and the study of Classical Ballet technique, which begins
at age eight. By the time students have turned eight, they are ready both physically and mentally to begin studying the beautiful
and disciplined art form of classical ballet. In this year, we will begin preparation for this by working at the barre in turned out positions with more arm and head
movements. The class will continue with creative movement exercises as well. A more advanced class will be introduced at age
eight as the dancer progresses.

strength and technique. In addition to
introducing the student the technique of
classical ballet they will continue to develop
skills in creative movement. In this program a
greater emphasis on correct steps, placement
and work ethic are taught.
Designed to build upon the principles and
concepts taught in the Early Childhood Leap ‘n
Learn dance program, the Junior Dance
Program is the perfect place for dancers ages
eight to eleven to further develop their love of
dance, technique and skills.
Junior Dance ProgramJunior Ballet Levels I & II

Youth Balletat Rockland School of Ballet
This class is designed for the more advanced and serious student with previous years of ballet training. In this class we will focus on technique, physical strength, flexibility and alignment. Additionally, an emphasis is put on artistry, musicality and personal growth.
Pointe Techniqueat Rockland School of Ballet
This class is designed for the serious student, and dancers must be invited by Miss Emily to add this class to their studies. Foot and ankle strength, correct placement of body and toes, alignment and posture and technique are all studied in this class.
Youth Dance Programat Rockland School of Ballet Rockland School of Ballet’s youth
dance program is a continuation of
training and study in various forms
of dance. At this level dancers will be
asked to decide to choose whether
they will continue in the recreational
or training division.
Rockland School of Ballet’s
recreational division is designed for
students ages twelve and up who
wish to attend classes that meet once
a week. In this program students will
be exposed to and will learn proper
ballet technique, terminology and
correct body placement and form.
Students enrolled in the recreational
program may opt into contemporary,
jazz, tap or additional ballet classes at
any time. The recreational division
allows dancers to grow their ballet
training without a huge time
commitment. It is designed
specifically for beginning students
and those with busy schedules.
The training division is for the
more serious and dedicated student.
Designed for students ages twelve and
up, students in the trainee program
will meet for a minimum of three
times each week. As dancers progress
in their training, more time, classes
and commitment will be required to
continue to improve upon skills,
strength and technique. The program
is primarily focuses on ballet though
students are encouraged to
participate in other genres including;
pointe, contemporary, jazz and tap.
For further guidance in enrolling
in the correct program please contact
Rockland School of Ballet directly at

This year Rockland School of Ballet is excited to bring the art of Contemporary Dance to the studio. Have you seen So You Think You Can Dance on FOX or followed the likes of pioneer modern dancers such as Martha Graham, Merce Cunningham
and Jose Limon? Contemporary dance strives to connect the mind and body through fluid dance movements. It has grown to be one of the most popular styles of dance in the public eye
today. Contemporary dancers use versatility, improvisation and
expression. Contemporary is a culmination of more traditional
forms of dance such as modern, jazz, lyrical and classical ballet and is performed to many different styles of music.
This year Miss Jessica comes back to Rockland School of Ballet with an exciting energy to teach dancers this popular style of dance. Students will learn about different methods of expression and gain strength and flexibility along with the
technical skills of contemporary dance. Dancers will explore movement and connection with mind, body and music, and will develop improvisational and choreographic skills..
