Resources for Dancers

The director and teachers at ABA believe in training the whole student. To that end, we will be compiling links to articles and other resources that may help you as a dancer.

Here's a link to an article in the October 2009 issue of Dance Magazine about a sensitive subject
in the ballet world - "Bringing Up the Weight Word" by Nancy Wozny.

Dance Wear

Just a friendly reminder, dance wear is for purchase at the studio before and after classes only. Please do not try to purchase during rehearsal times, it is just too chaotic to conduct rehearsal and sell dance wear. Thank you for your help with this, it is much appreciated.

If you're looking for dancewear and dance accessories, check out our new ABA store!
