XL Training

For the past 26 years, the Robert Thomas Dancenter has been dedicated to providing pre-professional quality ballet and pointe instruction for its students. That tradition is continued and maintained through the XL program. This program is designed for the dancer who demonstrates an exceptional aptitude for ballet and has a sincere desire to explore his/her full potential as a ballet student. We here at the Dancenter believe that your child deserves the opportunity to develop his/her exceptional potential as a dancer and we invite him/her to discover that potential by joining the XL program.

The only prerequisite to joining the program, is that your child be willing to commit to working hard towards enhancing his/her dancing skills. Through the combination of that hard work and our instruction, he/she will have skills that are necessary for pursuing a career in dance if desired. This will be accomplished by focusing not only on technique but also on artistry and the diligence behind it. Also, your child will learn dance terminology and be acquainted with eclectic ballet techniques. Through the XL program, your dancer will be given a well-rounded dance education that will provide him/her will all the tools necessary to be a successful dancer and a successful student. For girls ten years of age and over, beginning Pointe training will be offered. If your dancer would like to consider beginning Pointe training, please contact Robert or Miyoko Thomas at the Ames Dancenter.
