I am so
discouraged about finding the right classes for myself. Thankfully, I was
finally able to talk to Kevin (from Dance Arts Center) on the phone and now I
have three extra ballet classes lined up for next week. I was only able to take
three this week (one of which I can’t go back for because it was way too hard).
With two at the Academy of American Ballet and now three at Dance Arts Center, I
will finally have five classes per week (my original goal). It’s only
unfortunate that this stroke of luck fell on week three of my senior project
and not week one or two.
Kevin also
explained to me that, in general, it is not good to be taking classes from
multiple studios because every studio has it’s own style. Thankfully, the
Academy of American Ballet and Dance Arts Center are both in the Italian/French
style. He said that it’s good I am not taking class at the Menlo Park Academy
of Dance because apparently it is more Russian and has its own grading system.
There is nothing wrong with this style; it just doesn’t match up with the styles
at the other two studios.
Ultimately, I
will have to decide which studio I like best and continue taking classes at
that one post-senior project.
