🩰 Team Training & Outside Classes
Please remember to check with Sonya before taking any outside classes or training.
Being part of this team means we stay on the same page with what dancers are learning and being exposed to.
This helps maintain consistency, technique, and quality across all Esprit programs.
🩰 Elite Ballet Program
We held our first Elite Ballet class this Sunday, and it was a beautiful start to the program!
We’d love to see more of our team dancers take advantage of this elevated training opportunity — dancers may enroll or attend as drop-ins.
This program is perfect for building technique, strength, and precision.
