It's true! Let's lift one another during this new year! :)

We love to support one another, both in and out of class.   Come join us, at 5:45 am on Tuesday, Thursday or Friday!

Summer and Fall Registration!

Have you completed your registration for summer yet? We have many summer sessions for different levels of ballet and contemporary, check out our post below for the schedule. We have also added a Ballet 2-3 class not on the schedule below, e-mail us for that info! For our upper levels, our intensives will be taught by Emily Grizzell, former dancer with Royal Winnipeg Ballet, as well as Peggy Goodness and Sarah Glesk. Also, fall pre-registration has been completed for those remaining in the same class, and on Registration Day, June 6 beginning at noon, we will register those dancers wishing to move into a new class! Registration opens at noon, and though we don't anticipate the need for a 5:30 a.m. line up, as we have in the past, we still expect many classes to fill on that day. Please e-mail (inlandnwballet@aol.com), call (467-0765), or send us a Facebook message to get more info about summer or fall classes! We welcome dancers ages 3 and up, both current and brand new students, to our studio...:)

Fall Pre-Registration taking place now through May 16th!

Now is the time for our current students to pre-register for fall, if you are remaining in the same class next year. For those moving to a new class, you will need to attend on Registration Day, June 6. With the addition of another Ballet 1 class, and most students allowed to pre-register, we don't see a need for a 5:30 a.m. line up this year, most classes in Ballet levels 1 -4 are expected to fill that day. On Monday June 8, we will open registration to new students for any remaining openings. I you would like more info, please call the studio at 467-0765, e-mail us at inlandnwballet@aol.com, or message us on Facebook. Our staff for summer and fall of 2015 include Emily Grizzell, Peggy Goodner, Sarah Glesk (Sarah Fealk)Kaiti Bri Cowell, and Studio Director Janine Fraser.

New Creative Dance class for brand new 3-6 year olds, 4 weeks only!

You've asked for it, so we are offering...A new 4 week session for those with little ones who tried to register too late and did not get in to our fall classes, or those just wanting to try ballet now.

We will be holding this short session April 25 - May 16, every Saturday for four weeks, from 11:30 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. The tuition for this short session is just $40 (or $35 if you have a sibling already enrolled at INB!). This session is a great way to see if ballet is something your child will enjoy, and where he or she fits in to our levels. If you are enrolled in the session, you also become a "current student", allowed to register for fall on our first day of registration in June, rather than waiting until the following week, when many classes are already full. You must be pre-registered to attend, and enrollment will close once the class is full. If you are interested, please call the studio at 467-0765, e-mail us at inlandnwballet@aol.com, or message on Facebook (make certain you have our current "like" page "Inland Northwest Ballet OF SPOKANE" rather than our old friend page). If you would like a copy of our handout "How to tell if your child is ready for Creative Dance", just send us an e-mail…:) Happy dancing!

Summer Intensives for our upper levels!

Summer Fun! Upper level intensives for both levels 5 & 6, taught by Peggy Goodner, Emily Grizzell, & Sarah Glesk, register by June 20th to ensure a spot! ***Remember that B5s are required to study a minimum of 16 summer dance hours, and B6s are required to study a minimum of 20 summer dance hours. Those hours may take place at INB or at another summer classical ballet intensive. Registration for fall will not be processed until summer hours are noted on your registration form. To save you time doing the math, one week long workshop is enough for B5s, though the summer pointe class is recommended. B6s will need more than one week, so may enroll in either both workshops, just one along with the summer pointe class, or the required hours at another classical ballet intensive.
