      • About The American Ballet Theatre National Training Curriculum: Weehawken Dance proudly includes the AMERICAN BALLET THEATRE® NATIONAL TRAINING CURRICULUM, an 8-level program that combines high-quality artistic training with dancer health and child development basics. The curriculum provides age-appropriate, outcome-based guidelines to ensure the highest quality ballet training for students of all ages and skill levels. Primary through Level 7 is taught by ABT® Certified Teacher, Natasha Pyeatte, who has completed the ABT® Teacher Training Intensive in Primary through Level 7 of the curriculum.
      • About The Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing: Although the French School of Classical Ballet dates back to the early 17th century, Imperial Classical Ballet aims to provide classical training for the 21st century dancer, offering something for everyone, regardless of age or ability. Over its 110-year history the Imperial Classical Ballet Faculty, in all its manifestations, has supported ballet training to achieve, in the words of d’Albert “The elevation and advancement of the Art of Dancing, and the preservation of its ancient prestige and dignity.” It continues to lead and influence the international promotion of the English classical style. Miss Pang currently holds a Licentiate from ISTD.
  • Performance over Recital: We offer two major performance productions each year with high production quality, which are a treat for both families and the community.
    • Our production experience teaches dancers how to be part of an ensemble, focusing on timing, stage placement, costume changes, and teamwork.
    • We are not a competition studio and do not require auditions or invitations for continued dance education. As long as students put in the work and time, they can progress in our program, focusing on the love of dance.
    • The show fee is disclosed before the semester starts, with all pricing transparent. If your child auditions for a lead role and is cast, you don’t pay extra for rehearsals. It’s part of the show fee. There are no extra fees for private lessons, Sunday Pilates lessons, or special rehearsals associated with the show.
