WELCOME HOME
SCD&T is starting our first season in our new space at 33 Hawley! We can't wait to welcome you into the Work Room for the Fall semester. With 3000 sq. feet and a state-of-the-art HVAC system, we're lucky to have our airy space where social distancing is easy.
INTRODUCING: HAWLEY STREET BALLET
Hawley Street Ballet has been long in the making-- Jen Polins, Kate Martel, and Ellie Goudie-Averill have each had life long journeys as professional ballet dancers and have been training since they were very young. Their love for the form has kept them all engaged in the art of ballet, and their love for teaching movement and patterns to others has brought them together in Northampton at 33 Hawley Street in 2021. These three incredible teachers are joining forces and offer these holistic, healing approaches to classical and contemporary ballet to YOU!
Students will be invited into contemporary approaches to ballet techniques that include kindness, rigor, coordination, curiosity, and specificity. Together, we will deepen physical exploration and expand knowledge of movement vocabulary. In these classes, dancers will learn and increase familiarity with ballet terminology, and apply anatomical information for maximized freedom within form, function, and joy.
