Dance Photograph of Fantasy Ballet


Fantasy Ballet: Cinderella, Snow White, & Princesses Galore!
GRADES K-1: Saturdays • 9-10 am • Elizabeth Brody • $125/12 wks. • Limit: 12 • Chase Dance Studio, first floor

Through the structure of time-honored fairytale plots and characters, the sources of many famous classical ballets, children explore the basics of ballet and creative movement. Unlike traditional technique-oriented ballet instruction, kids' imaginations take flight when they construct their own choreography in bringing each story to life. Dancers share some adventures with family and friends at semester’s end.


Junior Ballet
GRADES 2-5: Thursdays • 3:45-4:45 pm • Elizabeth Brody • $125/12 wks. • Limit: 15 • Chase Dance Studio, first floor
OPTIONAL CLASS TRIP: St. Petersburg Ballet Theatre: The Russian Seasons
Wednesday, March 26 • 7:30 pm • Flynn MainStage • $25

Boys and girls explore the art and magic of classical ballet while building a strong foundation of core skills including placement of the body in space, jumps, turns, and simple combinations. Classes instill the joy and love of dance, while developing strength, line, grace, physical dexterity, and musicality. French vocabulary words and classical music are introduced in context.


Ballet I & II
TEENS & ADULTS: LEVEL I: Thursdays from 5:30-6:30 pm • LEVEL II: Thursdays from 6:30-7:45 pm • Elizabeth Brody • $195/15 wks. • Limit: 16 • Chase Dance Studio, first floor
OPTIONAL CLASS TRIP: St. Petersburg Ballet Theatre: The Russian Seasons
Wednesday, March 26 • 7:30 pm • Flynn MainStage • $25

Ballet strengthens and tones the body while increasing flexibility, balance, and coordination. Level I is a gentle and friendly introduction to the form, suitable for true beginners or those just dusting off their ballet slippers. Students experience the joy of dance while internalizing correct alignment and technique, artistry, and musicality. Level II practices and builds upon existing technique in a class focused on individual growth and attention. Classes include full barre and center exercises.


Especially welcoming to adults new to the art form.

ELIZABETH BRODY
received her B.F.A. in ballet and technical theater from the University of Utah and has choreographed and performed works throughout her career. She taught ballet for the Deaf Shall Dance Program in Salt Lake City and locally for the Vermont Ballet Theatre Conservatory and UVM.

The Flynn’s dance program instills a lifelong love of dance, helping veteran dancers and first-timers alike experience the power of their bodies as expressive instruments and discover their unique movement capabilities. Classes cover a breadth of styles, teaching technique while helping students trust their own instincts—instilling confidence and a sense of accomplishment. Classes focus on process rather than product, but a year-end optional performance satisfies dancers’ desire to share their growth and hard work with family and friends. Our program is enhanced by connections to the world-class artists who perform on the Flynn MainStage and share their dance styles and ideas with FlynnArts students in masterclass settings. Drop-in students are permitted in teen/adult classes on a space-available basis for $16 per class. However, most classes fill up quickly with registered students, leaving no room for drop-ins. It is wise to secure a space in class by registering for the full semester.
