Premier dance training academy in Durham, NC.
We believes that everyone has a dance inside them. Our goal is to help our students bring out their gift. We also recognize that not everyone "wants to be a dancer when they grow up" -- we all dance for different reasons. While we know that good, solid technique makes for a more versatile dancer; proper technique is also critical for safety and injury prevention. So even if American Ballet Theatre is not your goal, we approach all students with the belief that everyone needs good technique.
Legacy Believes... that dance should be enjoyable. As dancers, we have to be disciplined about learning and perfecting our craft. All the more reason to use a "spoonful of sugar"! Our instructors approach our students with a positive "can do" attitude and will support, challenge and nurture the dancers who choose to come to us. If dance isn't fun, then why do it?
Legacy Believes... that respect is vital in every area of life. Professional dance as a career is not only challenging physically, but also mentally, and not everyone a dancer may encounter will be easy to work with. We encourage our students to start practicing a positive mental attitude here and our instructors role model this attitude.
Legacy Believes... that creating dance is as important as learning proper technique. All classes from pre-ballet up have some time set aside for students to create choreographic phrases, improvise movement and try out new movement.
