24.01.2022 Happy holidays everyone. Ill see you next term! Here is Sofie performing a pirouette en pointe. She is demonstrating control and poise whilst executing a difficult pointe combination. Her performance appears effortless but this has not happened over night , it has taken many years of training. Dancing with the feet is one thing, but dancing with the heart is another

19.01.2022 LEGEND OF THE WEEK IS ASHER YASBINCEK. She explains how she benefits from ballet class. Ballet makes me feel stronger. Focusing on something that takes so much physical control helps to quiet the mind. I find that working at a particular technique and then improving it is so rewarding. As someone who has struggled with mental health for a long time, ballet gives me so much joy and drive to better myself. ... I always leave class feeling accomplished.

16.01.2022 Wonderful Wednesdays Open Class performing their adage at the barre. Adage translates to slow sustained movement and this tells us how we should approach improving our adage work. The priority is to perform adage movement with control. This can be achieved when the body is placed in perfect alignment. Artistry is the heart of a beautiful adage dancer, expressing the feeling of the movement from the soul and projecting this to the audience #adage#classicalballet#ballet#adultballetschool#barrework#artistry#balletdancer#balletclass#balletislife#theballetstudio

07.01.2022 ADULT BALLET BEGINNER LEVEL 2 This lovely class of young ladies are performing a port de bras they learnt in class this evening. The exercise is designed to develop graceful moment. Port de bras is a classical ballet term meaning carriage of the arms. Arms are so vital in keeping the body in alignment and to improve the quality of movement. The shape of the arms should be rounded so there is no visible break at the shoulders or wrists. The arms should never be fully straight at the elbow. Port de bras includes the movement and position of the head in relation with the arms. Mastering the port de bras takes many years of practice. #adultballetclass#classicalballet#adultballetstudents#portdebras#adultballetbeginner#gracefularms#nevertoooldandnevertoolate#balletlife#balletislife#balletclass#ballet#theballetstudio

04.01.2022 My beautiful Brittany Mucciarone.

03.01.2022 Elaina, Manon and Jackie are performing a Pirouette combination they did in their final class tonight. The unpredictable and sometimes frustrating humble pirouette. Ballet turns known as pirouettes require a whole body rotation on a supporting leg. What makes the magic happen in a pirouette, you may ask? Its the spitting, the preparation, correct placement and balance that makes the magic happen.#pirouette#spotting#balletturns#balletclass#ballet#classicalballet#theballetstudio

03.01.2022 Wonderful Wednesdays Open Class. The girls are performing their Adage in the centre. The adage movements must be performed with fluidity and grace. These exercises develop a sense of line, balance and beautiful poise which enables dancers to perform with grace. #adultballetschool#classicalballet#ballet#centrework#adage#poiseandgrace#balletdancer#classical#balletclass#balletlife#balletaddiction#theballetstudio

03.01.2022 LEGEND OF THE WEEK is AMY MAK, my intellectual ballerina. I danced at the Michelle Madlener Ballet Studio from age 9 to 22. I stopped ballet completely for nine years and have recently restarted. I kept dancing during this break (partner styles Modern Jive, some West Coast Swing and some Argentine Tango) and have become super-passionate about efficient ways of teaching dance, functional movement, dance philosophy and music cognition. In my ballet-mad younger days I was high...ly motivated by the exercise, by getting it right, by the sense of pride and achievement that that brings. I loved feeling that I had gotten 'better' and could do something that I couldn't do before. It was all about trying really hard as I pursued excellence. My framework and goals are a little different now. I ask myself the questions "Why dance? What is dance to me?" Fundamentally dance is movement in time to music. I used to feel that the joy of moving to music would get lost in distraction as I attended to the exercise and technique. I also believed that I would only love doing ballet as long as I could continually improve. Thank goodness that's no longer the case! Now ballet has become even more of an artistic freedom and creative outlet for me. It is my time to meditate on how my body feels, how it interacts with itself, with the floor, with the space, with the music. I can notice all these things without judging them as 'good' or 'bad', it just is, and I like how that makes me feel. I don't mind that my leg doesn't go as high as it once did, that my turnout or foot arch are not what they were, that many technical abilities have fallen away. Now I can simply enjoy being with myself and adding my movement to the music. It's a wonderful thing. Thanks to Michelle for providing a safe and supportive place to dance. *Side note: A little neuroscience and philosophy on why everyone should dance in whatever way they can. Did you know that the neurones of your motor cortex (the part of your brain that lets you move) are literally touching the part of your brain that processes musical rhythms? As soon as your brain goes Ah-ha. That is music, it creates an internal model of the musical patterns and starts firing in time to it. This is called Beat Induction and it happens unconsciously to every human. It gives us a natural instinct to move with the music. This Groove Instinct leads to our Groove Response. In short, movement in time to music = dance.
