About the Studio
School Philosophy
Our professionally trained staff is committed to providing quality dance instruction for all ages. Each student is challenged in consideration of his or her age, experience, ability, commitment and ambition. Our faculty is trained to instill within these students a disciplined performing art that goes far beyond the walls of the dance studio. Whether your ambitions are recreational or professional, we offer a course of study that is appropriate for you.
Location and Facility
Ballet with Cindee Velle is the Resident Dance School of The Long Reach Village Center. Click here for directions.
Classes are located in Stonehouse, at the newly renovated Long Reach Village Center, conveniently located right next to the new Safeway on Tamar Drive in Columbia, MD. Our studios are equipped with resilient flooring, barres and mirrors. Parents may observe class through glass doors. Stonehouse is easily accessible from Routes 29, 95, and 100. Well-lit parking is plentiful.
Performance Opportunities
Visitors’ Day will be held during each last scheduled class meeting in December, prior to Winter break. Family members and friends are invited to observe an informal presentation of class work at that time. Student dance concerts are held annually, presenting students on stage displaying their classroom technique. Students desiring a more intensive performance experience may audition for our annual Nutcracker production and/or competition teams.
Placement
Students are placed according to age, experience, performance, ability and work ethics. For placement questions call the school office at 410/465-7674.
