WELCOME
TO THE 2007-2008 SCHOOL YEAR
OF SPCB!
I
invite you to walk up the stairs
of our historic Grand Avenue Studios
and experience Saint Paul City
Ballet school where each student
is encouraged to exceed their expectations.
\We
raise the “barre” in ballet training
whatever your
age and ability.
Whether building the foundation
of a professional career or enjoying
exercise in its most elegant form,
our qualified and accessible staff
offer programs for any skill level.
The
SPCB faculty maintains a comprehensive
curriculum that is developmentally
and physically appropriate. We
relentlessly pursue the best in
classical training in order to
develop
dancers’ talent
and versatility. And SPCB is proud
to have live accompaniment of our
ballet classes by accomplished
local musicians. In this way, we
are able to design the class for
the students rather than fit the
class to pre-recorded music. The
dancer learns to dance as a partner
with the music.
Experience
the
finest in dance training. Come
and
learn with us. Soli Deo Gloria!
