Rockland School of Ballet a note from the school With another school year coming to an end, Rockland School of Ballet would like to congratulate and thank all of our dancers and their families for another fantastic season! This issue of From the Barre is a little late, but as we like to say, better late than never! A summer approaches and at the days get a little longer, we look forward to all of the exciting opportunities we have to offer young dancers and community members! First and foremost, camp! We will be offering many exciting camps this summer, including Angelina Ballerina dance camp for dancers ages 3 - 6. For ages 7 - 19 we will be

offering a fabulous and interesting CoppĂŠlia camp. Where dancers will not only experience movement but also learn about music, anatomy, healthy bodies and so much more. And for the older dancers we are offering, for the first time ever a dance intensive, where we will combine Ballet and Contemporary for an all day program filled with education and movement! Read on into this issue of From the Barre for more information about activities and opportunities happening in and out of the studio! et Ball As always keep dancing! d n a kl
