Join us for our next semester of Free 2 Be Me Dance, an adaptive dance program specifically for children ages 7 to 18 years old with Down syndrome! Free 2 Be Me Dance is sponsored by the Westside School of Ballet in Santa Monica. Free 2 Be Me Dance is now accepting enrollments for our fall semester starting in September, 2012 and we will be offering 2 classes again this year, Ballet l and Ballet ll. If you are new to our program, please look at the Ballet l schedule for your child.
Ballet l:
Ballet l is a 10-week semester and will be taught by Hope Wills. This class will include all new enrollments as well as some of our “seasoned” dancers. Tuition for 10 weeks is $175. Scholarships are available this semester. Please contact Colleen Perry directly at 310-259-8970 if you are interested. We pride ourselves on not having to turn away any dancer because of an inability to afford tuition. There is also a MANDATORY parent orientation for Ballet I parents on March 11 from 1 pm to 2 pm. See our "Registration Forms" page to sign up your child and for more information about uniform costs.
