Miss Emily and Miss Jessica have thoroughly enjoyed being in the studio and dancing with many talented young dancers this summer. We’ve had a grand total of three Angelina Ballerina Ballet Camps, one Coppélia Dance Camp and a Summer Intensive Program. Each and every week has been just spectacular and completely inspirational. We are beyond thrilled to begin signing up dancers for our first ever Dance Marathon, this August 22nd. Come join us here in our studio and dance the night away at this end of summer bash! It’s sure to be great fun and proceeds will help support the installation of a new floor at Rockland School of Ballet.

We will be hosting demonstration classes, crafts, uniform fittings, class registration and much more! Bring the family and sign up for classes, this next year at Rockland School of Ballet is sure to be our best yet. Last but not least mark your calendars!
