Our schedule is demanding, but this amount of training per week is typical for academies that seek to provide rigorous instruction and thorough preparation for professional careers in dance.  The Greenwich Ballet Academy’s intent is to offer the highest possible level of classical ballet training to all of its students.  It is our hope that students will take full advantage of the classes that the GBA offers.  Students who do not may find that they are inadequately prepared to participate in the academy’s end-of-semester exams and/or performances, and consequently may not be invited to participate in these activities.  Additionally, students who are unable to participate fully in the program may find that they will not be ready for promotion to the next level because they have not kept pace with the requirements of the program. 

We hope that our students will do their best to attend all classes.  We understand, however, that some absences will be unavoidable.  When these occur, we ask that students and parents maintain open communication with our faculty.  Mr. Michael Shannon may be reached at MShannon@greenwichballetacademy.org, or 917-318-7201.

Ms. Carole Alexis may be reached at Carole@greenwichballetacademy.org, or 646-753-0457.

Students/Parents must report all absences directly to Mr. Shannon or Ms. Alexis in a timely manner.  As always, attendance at technical rehearsals and dress rehearsals is mandatory for all students participating in performances.
