Homeschool Ballet |
Dear Homeschool Family, We are pleased to offer a very special program beginning September 13th, 2010 for Orange County Homeschooling Families. Under the loving and committed hand of Children's Division Principal, Mrs. Ruth Ziegler, DKCBA will launch a Homeschool Ballet program. This program is not recreational level ballet. It is designed to provide the proper training for a student to grow as a dancer. Students will learn about ballet from the point-of-view as both dancer and patron. This will be a fully integrated curriculum that includes basic music appreciation and theory, character dancing, ballet vocabulary and arts integration as well as a carefully executed ballet movement curriculum focusing on proper alignment, position, technique and anatomy. In partnership with Orange County Ballet Theatre (OCBT), field trips to observe the work of professional companies are available as well as performance opportunities in our productions of shows like The Nutcracker, Midsummer Night's Dream and Coppelia. In addition, OCBT has a substantial lending library that will support your existing fine arts curriculum. It is our vision that this unique program will also afford families the opportunity to network through a shared love of the art of ballet. As a community, homeschool families should feel very welcome at DKCBA. Many of our advanced level dancers are homeschooled and we share a conviction to the right of each family to find the most suitable educational choice for their child and family. Families that are part of Sky Mountain Charter School or River Springs Charter Schools should inquire with the Administrative Director concerning our vendor status and payment arrangements. We look forward to seeing your child grow with us as we launch this exciting new program. Sincerely, Dmitri and Jennifer Kulev |
