Question
I am 13 and looking for a good ballet class in Downtown Indianapolis or in just in Indianapolis. I've already looked on http://www.bangkokcompanies.com/Dance/indiana_dance_schools.htm and many other websites. Do you have any recommendations, or a place I could go? Thanks.

Expertise

I can answer questions about ballet positions, ballet movements and ballet technique, pointe shoes and pre pointe exercise, mens training, ballet diet, general health issues related to dance, artistry, performance, modern dance, rehabilitation from injuries, and teaching ballet. I have taught ballet, choreographed, produced and directed dance companies. For any answers related to health questions I will offer my experience, and give references to information, but I also automatically include "see a professional".
