Everyone here at IVCCA would like to wish our students and their families a heart felt wish for peace and happiness over the holidays.  A warm thanks for the amazing performances and the hard work all of your families did to make that happen! We were very proud of all the students who performed with the symphony, the evenings were truly magical!  We have recieved an avalanche of accolades from hundreds of people in attendance at the sold out performances.  I would like to thank our musicians who were outstanding! This was their first time performing for a Ballet,all of those in attendance were in awe! 

We are looking forward to our new schedule which will be posted next week after our short holiday break.  We are pleased to welcome our special needs students.  Classes will be held in the mornings daily beginning January 16th.  We are proud to announce that we will have two special needs trained Teachers on staff to accomodate these children.  Look for our Autism Movement Therapy Class on January 13th & 14th.  Please call 951-696-9800 to register asap, as space is limited.  We are also opening two adult classes on Monday, and Wednesday mornings.  Come join Miss Ivonne and get fit! 

Our theater is ready!  Look for the auditions and presentations of Jane Austen’s stage performances of Pride & Prejudice, Emma, and Sense & Sensibility this spring.  All in all you will see really wonderful things at IVCCA, come and see us soon to find out what we have in store for you and your family in the coming year.

We have come across th is problem time and time again.  Choices made in Dance training do not always yield the desired outcome.  People make choices based on a neighbors recommendation, the local ads, studio hoppers or just to be in a big studio.  What ever the reasoning it appears that many dancers have been sadly misled in their training causing injury.  Always of paramount importance to us, here at the IV Conservatory Ballet School, is to ensure that our students learn the correct and safe way to execute their ballet moves.   This school uses a very “hands-on” teaching method, with close attention to detail.  One of our deep concerns is the frequency with which students have been put on to pointe (toe) before they have sufficient strength throughout the body.  This can, and does lead to injuries, sometimes very serious ones.  Students who have danced incorrectly “en pointe” sometimes come to us, and we take them off pointe and retrain them until their technique is strong and they are truly ready, enabling them to perform beautiful and safe pointework, with much greater confidence
