MARLENE HERSHFIELD

Dance Director mhershfield@arbutusclub.com

Marlene Hershfield, A.I.S.T.D, is one of Vancouver’s most respected dance educators. Some of her students have gone on to notable dance careers. She has an extensive background in teaching ballet, jazz and national as well as choreography and has adjudicated at numerous festivals. She brings decades of wisdom, and leadership to the dance program. Marlene is proud of her dynamic team of experienced teachers who are sure to inspire your children to explore and enjoy dance in many exciting forms. The Arbutus Club Academy of Dance cultivates young dancers, ages 2.5-19 years from their first step into a dance studio through their pre-professional training. Students discover their individual artistic voices in a creative environment with the guidance of an internationally recognized faculty. The personal attention encourages students to mature as dancers, grow as individuals and enrich their passion for the art form.

WE CARE ABOUT YOUR SAFETY

Here are some new procedures to know before you arrive for your class: • Participants should not arrive earlier than 5 minutes prior to their class, and must leave promptly following. • Participants arriving for their class must line up in the designated waiting area, so that the class beforehand can leave safely. • Please arrive ready to dance. • All personal items must be stored in a bag (i.e. backpack or tote bag) and brought into the studio. Nothing may be left in the hallway. • If the Club closes at any time due to COVID-19, classes may be offered via Zoom so that participants can keep learning and practicing. • Masks will be worn according to the format of the class.

PROGRAM INFORMATION

Students enrolling in dance, with the exception of preschool classes, are required to make a full-year commitment as classes are progressive and depend on weekly development. Class placement is determined at the teachers discretion. There will not be a recital dance in exam classes.

PROGRAM ATTENDANCE

While we want our students to have fun, dancing is a commitment. Students registered in dance are expected to remain in the program for the full term. We ask that parents ensure students arrive on time, attend every class and inform us in advance by email at mhershfield@arbutusclub.com if they have to miss a class for medical, illness or other reasons.

SMALL CLASSES

All classes require a minimum of five participants to run at the listed price. If a class has fewer students, the teacher may offer the class with an additional charge. Members will be contacted prior to incurring any additional costs.

BALLET EXAMS

Exams motivate both competitive and recreational dancers to develop discipline, confidence and a sense of achievement. Students are examined by the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing, London, England, in either the Imperial Society of Dance or the Cecchetti Society. Usually held in June and administered by international examiners, exams involve additional expenses such as entry fees and outfits. Instructors determine which dancers are ready to be examined. Examination candidates must register for at least two ballet classes per week from the grade one level. Students on pointe require a minimum of three lessons per week. Notices about classes, cancellation dates and other details will be emailed to parents of class participants throughout the year. To receive these emails, please ensure your email address is up to date by contacting Accounting at 604-269-8787 or admin@arbutusclub.com.
