Have you tried Pilates?  This workout system is designed to strengthen your core (abs, back, butt and thighs) and tone, lengthen, stretch and re-shape your body.  Pilates improves your posture and keeps the body firm and strong, a dancer's workout for people of all ages, fitness levels and abilities.  Class is offered Wednesdays @ 8:30 p.m. - *Private sessions available by appointment.*  Joe Conger is a certified Pilates Instructor, as well as a Personal Trainer with a huge following of devoted students.  He is currently working toward his PhD. in Physical Therapy at SUNY Stony Brook.  This new area of study only enhances his amazing gift of understanding the human body and it's mechanics!

Dana Baudouin (a former MASD graduate) is also a certified Pilates Instructor and offers Pilates class on Friday mornings.  She is also available for private sessions at the studio or in your home. 

Both Joe and Dana offer your first "trial" class for free.  Don't miss the opportunity to work with these talented and caring Pilates instructors!

Payment Options for Pilates Classes are as follows:
1) Per Class - $20.00 per class
2) 8 Class Package - $120 / package expires three [3] months from date of purchase.
3) 16 Class Package - $175 / package expires five [5] months from date of purchase.

In addition to our Advanced Ballet Technique and Variations at 9:30 to 10:45 a.m. on Saturday mornings, we also offer an Intermediate Technique and Variations at 10:45 – 12:00 P.M. These classes are key to the development of the serious dance student. We are extremely fortunate to have Allison Rezza available to share her expertise with our dancers. These classes have gained a great deal of popularity, not only with our own students, but have also attracted many students from other studios who wish to improve their technique. If you are a serious dancer and want to improve, this is a most valuable class to attend.

For those students unable to attend technique classes on a regular basis, a ten [10] class card is available for the cost of $120.00.  See Ann or Allison for further details.  Excellent ballet teachers are very hard to find. We are lucky to have one of the best on Long Island.  Don’t miss the opportunity to work with her!

School closings due to inclement weather will no longer be communicated to you to you by a telephone call by a teacher or teacher aide, it will only be posted on our website!   Please be sure we have your current home phone number, as well as a cell number and your email address!

As always, it is a privilege to work with your children.  If you have any questions, problems or comments regarding classes or placement, please make your concerns known to Ann Lagravinese, Heather or myself.  We want to provide each and every student with a stimulating and memorable experience!

Sincerely:
Marianne

The Little Cha Foundation:

Past events have included “A Celebration of Life” in memory of our little dancer Victoria Riccardi who passed away suddenly in 2 years ago. This event was a huge success and raised more than $7,500 which was donated in Victoria’s name to the John Theissen Children’s Foundation. Since then, the Riccardi family has started the “Little Cha Foundation,” in Victoria’s memory. The Riccardi Family hopes to use the proceeds to sponsor a child who would like to pursue the arts. We will inform you of any future events taking place for the “Little Cha Foundation” as soon as the information becomes available. If at anytime you would like to make a donation to the Little Cha Foundation, please make all checks payable to:
