Pulling Double Duty: How Dance Studios are Making the Most of their Space

by Jenne Vermis - Staff Writer

Dance studios are a thriving business to- day, and they are seemingly on every block in every city you come to. Often, these businesses typically have limited hours during which they open for business, as can be the nature of being an after-school activity. However, many dance studios are now getting creative and innovative in finding ways to use their space during non- class hours to both help their businesses financially and provide much needed and/or wanted services for the community. Most dance studios open in the mid-afternoon, between 2pm and 4pm, depending on the class demand and area school hours, so that leaves the entire morning and midday open for them to rent out their space as they wish. Many studios have started to partner with schools, both public and private, to rent out their studio space. One such school is Abella’s School of Ballet in St. Augustine. They have four or beneficial to their own.

AN UNCOMMON SIGHT – THE NEXT GENERATION OF MALE DANCERS. by Karina Felix

From the day it opened, Paris Ballet and Dance has been the place where boys and young men go to learn to dance.

Jupiter, Fl - From the day it opened, Paris Ballet and Dance has been the place where boys and young men go to learn to dance.

Like girls who take specialized pointe classes, boys also need classes geared specifically for their needs. As a renowned former world-class dancer and superb master teacher, Director Jean-Hugues Fe- ray has always been aware of those needs.

“Though very rewarding, being a man in the world of dance can be strenuous” says Feray. “They must not only be a good dancer but they also must be strong and well trained for the stylized steps, jumps and turns that they perform. They also need to be strong enough to lift a living hu- man body weight and effortlessly transport it across the stage and gently place it down without breaking a sweat, or so it seems.”

BOY/MEN’S CLASS Paris Ballet and Dance has special

AN UNCOMMON SIGHT Paris Ballet and Dance has so many boys and young men from ages four to seventeen mingling within the studio walls, that the other students and parents have become pretty used to seeing them interacting with the teachers and fellow dancers. “At Paris Ballet & Dance, we are excited and proud to not only have these group of young men at our studio, but that we are able to retain them because of the superb and individual based training we have created for them”: says studio director Jean- Hugues Feray.

WHY? Paris Ballet and Dance is the School The Nutcracker 2015, Russian section, Dancer jumping is Emill Hurmemaa and Zachary Putt. where boys and young men dance!

They also get the opportunity the classroom created just for them! to implement and expand their knowledge and dance experience on stage during the schools yearly performances and Nutcrack- er showcase.

All classes are taught by experienced teachers whom are, or were dance profes- sionals. These classes have given the seri- ous dancers a huge advantage when they go off to summer intensives throughout the world. They are by far better equipped and prepared for the challenge.

As the male students grow older and stronger, the classes are adjusted to suite their immediate needs and requirements to becoming more proficient in their art form.

BOYS AS TRUE ATHLETES Serious advanced dance students (and professionals) practically train on a daily basis throughout the year, with only a few breaks. Dance training require a strong disposition, made up of talent, desire, com-

Featured Students Section

Name: Age: 22Abigail Rodgers I should be featured because: I am a dancer who has overcome obstacles and I just keep going! At age 16, I had three knee dislocations and two knee surgeries. I have not allowed these to define me, but they did refine me. I have fought my way back and continued studying, auditioning, and I won’t stop until I have made it as a professional dancer. I have sought out excellent teachers and expressed my heart by blending my love of dance with my art (sculp- ture). I am a teacher of young dancers and my heart is blessed every day I can pass on to them the excellent technique required to build and sustain a dancer’s body. I was just accept- ed into the Ballet Arizona Professional training program. I have studied at Joffrey Ballet NYC; Nashville Ballet Trainee; ABT Collegiate; Orlando Ballet; Atlanta Ballet, and BalletMet. I am a former dancer with Ballet Pensacola and am now with Pensacola Youth Ballet in Pensacola, Florida. My hobbies are: pottery, sculpture, drawing. See my portfolio at http://abigailrodgers2012. wix.com/ajrmodeling and see ART by Abi My favorite color is: gray sweats over my black leo and pink tights! My favorite dance production is: Swan Lake by any quality company. Mobile Ballet is pre- senting this now; Alabama Ballet performed this a few years ago and it was amazing. My little dancers are learning a version of the dance of the cygnets for their recital in May. Very proud of my girls! My favorite dance style is: classical ballet or modern ballet en pointe. I learning to love con- temporary but my heart is in my pointe shoes! My future goals are: Professional dancer and teacher at a large company’s academy. I would also like to be a working artist and extend my knowledge of sculpture. See my portfolio for my two dance inspired sculptures: Dysmorphia and Silence.

Name: Age: 15Darriel Johnakin

I should be featured because: I should be featured because I live and breathe dance. I have been dancing since I was 2 years old. I currently attend New World School of the Arts where I dance 3 hours a day and attend my dance studio 4-5 days a week. I really enjoy dancing and look forward to everyday where I can dance.

My hobbies are: hanging with my friends

My favorite color is: purple

My favorite dance production is: Ailey’s Revelations

My favorite dance style is: Contemporary

My future goals are: My goals are to continue dancing through college in New York attending NYU, Fordham or Juilliard, and majoring in Dance and to eventually join a company and/or perform on Broadway.

Featured Students Section

Name: Age: 16Kristen Gaertner

I should be featured because: I have been dancing for over ten years now. My dad has been in the military for 28 years, which means I’ve moved around a bit, but dance has always been a constant in my life, no matter what state I’m in. I believe I should also be featured because even though I am in dance class nearly every day of the week, I still maintain a 4.0 unweighted GPA while being in the IB program at my school. This rigorous program challenges students and prepares me for college, as well as gives me enough credits to enter college as a sophomore. Additionally, I utilize the skills dance has taught me nearly every day. I never had to deal with stage fright thanks to dance, and I am not afraid of criticism because I know it will allow me to become better at whatever I do. I also learned discipline from dance, which gives me the patience I need to succeed in school. The most relevant application of my dance skills, however, was when I helped to choreograph dances for a musical at my school. I would love to be featured in the magazine and show the diversity of young dancers. My hobbies are: Aside from dance, I also participate in my school’s drama program, including their musicals and plays. I am also a member of the Girl Scouts and my church’s youth group. In my down time I can often be found reading a book or completing a craft project, such as crocheting or cross-stitching. My favorite color is: Purple! My favorite dance production is: Sleeping Beauty. It was my favorite princess movie when I was little, and seeing it on stage as a ballet production made me love it even more. My favorite dance style is: Ballet. I prefer the structure of ballet to the more free-form movements of modern. My future goals are: To attend Harvard College’s medical school and become a microbiologist while continuing my dance studies.

Name: Age: 19Emma Bell I should be featured because: I am a sophomore at the University of South Florida in Tampa majoring in Mass Communications. After having danced my whole life,I didn’t want to give up dance just because I was going to college so I decided to audition for the school dance team called the SunDolls. This was a big commitment as the team practices three nights a week for three hours in addition to making com- munity appearances and performing at the football and basketball games. College is way harder than high school so finding a balance between school and dance was a little overwhelming at first. I joined a sorority last spring which also allows me to use my dance skills. Several of the philanthropies we par- ticipate in involve dance competitions. For example, last fall we participated in Delta Gamma’s “Anchor Splash” which benefits Service for Sight. This involved dancing /cheering and synchronized swimming in the pool! I spent many cold nights at the pool practicing till 1am but the competition day was one of the best days of my life. Coming up soon with have “Zeta Step” which is a fundraiser for breast cancer. I am now a former ballerina learning how to step dance . The absolute best opportunity I have been given was being hired by Busch Gardens as a seasonal dancer. This summer I performed in their show Kinetix with some of the most some amazing dancers. They taught me so much and I really grew so much not only as a dancer but as a person. I had the time of my life! I got to perform along side some really talented performers; from Mongolian acrobats and Russian aerialists to amazing musicians! I was so afraid that I wouldn’t be able to continue my passion for dance after high school unless I majored in dance but nothing could be further from true. Although I am not spending time in dance classes anymore like I used to, I am performing which is one of my favor- ite things to do!I would like to travel the world one day and dance could even help me do that. I have several dancer friends performing on cruise ships in Europe and Japan. My future goals are: I don’t know where dance is going to take me but I am certain it will be in my future. I am so lucky to have my background in dance as the doors it has opened for me are endless. World of Dance Magazine opened the first door for me which was modeling! I recently had a shoot with MarleyLily. Meet Your Neighborhood Dance Community!
