Studio Ballet Of Hudson is dedicated to teaching the artistry of classical ballet and other techniques, along with the joy and beauty of dancing. Our professional faculty provides beginning to advanced training for both serious and recreational students of all ages. Our goal is to inspire dancers through caring and careful instruction.
Training is based on a combination of classical techniques
following a graded syllabus for each level to develop correct physical
alignment as well as grace and rhythm of movement. Our focus is on
teaching the discipline of classical ballet technique in a
non-competitive environment. Students who wish to perform will be
offered performance opportunities through the year. At the upper
levels, Modern Dance, and other Ethnic Dance forms are offered to
further broaden the student’s understanding of movement.
In addition, the studio offers
instruction in the Pilates method and the Alexander Technique. Pilates,
a favorite of dancers for over 60 years, builds core strength while
lengthening and toning muscles. The Alexander Technique helps to
prevent injuries and reduce tension, as it improves awareness,
coordination, placement, balance, and stage presence. Cathy Hazeltine Fallon applies her extensive knowledge of the dancer's
anatomy to help dancers with "less than perfect ballet bodies" to gain
an understanding of how to access more turnout, to lengthen their
classical line, and to dance with greater freedom through improved
alignment.
