Ballet and Creative Movement
Instructor Siobhan O’Brien has studied Vagonova and Cechetti methods with Deboreah Pinkney and Irene Merrill on Cape Cod. Siobhan enjoyed teaching at the Falmouth and Barnstable Conservatory and performed with the Mid-Cape Ballet. The primary goal of the YMCA Ballet program is to build self-esteem– always putting a strong emphasis on cooperation and the joy of movement!

45 min. class (Ages 3-4) This class is a blend of creative movement, music and improvisation. It provides an age appropriate introduction to classical dance. Imagination, expressiveness and the joy of movement are the focus for our younges dancers!
Ballet Stories
45 min. class (Ages 4-6) This unique approach provides an introduction to dance and drama using stories, props, music and mime to inspire and instruct. The focus of this 45 minute class is creativity and cooperation with other children.
