Training at LBT is designed to allow all students to reach their full potential, including those interested in a professional classical ballet career. The
classical ballet curriculum is primarily Russian but all other major
schools - French, English, Italian, Bournonville and Balanchine - are
introduced. African dance, yoga and jazz round out the program. Please see our faculty page for the resumes
of our instructors.
In addition to our annual theater productions of original story ballets choreographed by director Gigi Murphy, we present volunteer performances in nursing homes, inner city programs, senior centers, and other community venues. The school's program provides students with qualities that they can apply to any undertaking in life. These include self-motivation, self-confidence, grace, coordination, and a firsthand appreciation of the rewards and accomplishments that result from discipline and dedication to ideals. Joy of dance is high on the list of rewards as well. Students follow a structured sequence of age-and-ability-appropriate
training that is designed to increase their technical skills, artistry,
and endurance. Developing musical sensitivity and honing a dancer's
ability to integrate music and movement are an important part of this
training.
The school is located in Landenberg, PA, in southern Chester County.
We are close to Kennett Square, Oxford, Avondale and West Grove in Pennsylvania,
and Wilmington and Newark, Delaware. | |
