BALLET II

Ballet II is designed for those students who have already completed Ballet I and have the technical skills to take the next ‘leap’ for more challenging movement. Ballet I and II is taught by Erin Usawicz. Erin received her training with Jose Mateo and Mary McKenzie-Thompson as a scholarship student at Ballet Theatre of Boston’s (now called Jose Mateo’s Ballet Theater) Young Dancer’s Program. She served as the company’s apprentice and then advanced to a corps de ballet member. Other training included work with Finis Jhung at Broadway Dance Center in New York City as well as with Allegra Kent, famed Balanchine-era ballerina. Erin studied fashion design at Pratt Institute and photography at Rutgers’ Mason Gross School of the Arts where she earned a BFA with high honors. All dance classes are in the LACKLAND DANCE STUDIO. Classes run for 15 weeks: Aug 27-Dec 11, 2018.
