Why do we concentrate on rhythms outside of the classical ballet studio? Why Swing into Spring this season? With notes of jazz, swing, charleston , jive, modern, and theater, our students are connecting ballet to the rhythms of life around them.

Because rhythm is more than timing—it is presence, musicality, instinct, and connection.

Discipline creates freedom. Technique creates possibility. Rhythm brings it to life.

Classical ballet develops strength, awareness, alignment, and a deep sense of self within the body. Without that foundation, expression can become little more than an imitation—a regurgitated annotation of movement rather than an authentic voice.

Founder Frank Ohman and Artistic Director Nicole Loizides both astonished audiences worldwide with their freedom and versatility. Swing into Spring is just that… wrapped into a celebration of American born music.

Join us this Saturday June 6th! Enjoy a free swing class at 3pm before the show and stay afterwards for a reception in the café. We’d love to see you!
