OUR VISION
Vision
Artist By Balleto Pku
The application of oneself is the key to success. The caliber of instruction is important, but nearly as important as the willingness to learn, and it is the ability to absorb with the alertness of a sponge whatever the instructor has to offer. Philosophy

From The Director
I am an experienced vocalist, dancer, dance educator, choreographer, poet, model and actor from Jackson, Mississippi.
My choreographic style is to create expression through various elements: physicality, repetition, internal rhythms, focus, speed, silence, intention of movement, and beauty. I examine the relationships between musical and dance physicality. I am motivated by images evoked by hearing music, the type of rhythms are gospel, jazz, blues, and narrative prose. In creating solos, duets, trios, quartets and company work dancers are trained in the idioms of ballet, jazz, modern (Graham/Horton), tap and hip-hop dance technique.
I believe in choreography being truthful, for it is a part of my story, my truth, my expression of life, of who I am, your story, a story to be told that someone in your audience can identify with, my opportunity to touch the human spirit. The audience knows when you are not telling the truth.
