Danse Western Reserve
La vie pour danser, danser pour la vie.(Life is for dancing, dancing is for life.)
Thank you for your interest in Danse Western Reserve. Danse Western Reserve is a non-profit dance studio in Bainbridge Township, Ohio serving Bainbridge, Chagrin Falls, Aurora, Solon, Geauga , Cuyahoga and Portage Counties. We offer excellent dance education to each student, regardless of age or dance experience, in a non-competitive, supportive environment.
Danse Western Reserve is committed to developing the full potential of every student enrolled. Through creating powerful learning partnerships between students, instructors and directors based on high expectations, uncompromised standards of achievement, and commitment to excellence.
Student success in dance requires mastery of both technical skill and artistic interpretation. Danse Western Reserve believes that sound in technical training coupled with a well-developed appreciation for self-expression, will result in superior artistry. But technical skill and self-expression alone do not ensure superior artistry. Students improve their ability to dance through carefully guided training, rehearsal, and performance - not competition.
Danse Western Reserve students have opportunities to perform in our regularly scheduled performances in both December & May.
At Danse Western Reserve students learn that discipline, self-respect, self-confidence, self-awareness, proper classroom etiquette, and intrinsic motivation are paramount to their technical, artistic, social, and psychological development as a dancer. We believe that when student dancers learn how to live with integrity, meaning, and determination through the process of learning the artistic discipline of dance, they are better prepared for the challenges and opportunities they are sure to face in dance AND in life.
Danse Western Reserve has an open enrollment policy – start anytime, tuition is pro-rated. You may sample any class offered free of charge and with no obligation to register. All classes may be observed at any time. Plenty of seating is available. Observation is welcome and encouraged. You will learn much and appreciate more when you observe class. Good attendance is encouraged and parents are asked to make sure their children understand about commitment to class, performance and their fellow dancers.
