Millermuller Ballet

Millermuller ballet was founded so that the youth of the metroplex will have the opportunity to perform professionally without having to leave their homes, families, and friends. We also want to take this true ballet to smaller communities which otherwise have to travel some distance to see quality dance.

Heritage School of Classical Ballet provides classes for all ages starting at age 4, and includes classes for adults. We teach Russian technique which develops emotional expressiveness, strictness of form, and an energetic manner of performance. We have worked closely with Russian dancers, teachers and directors for many years and consider this to be the most successful method of instruction for young dancing bodies. This methodology teaches dynamic turns, cultivates a dancer's aplomb, and gives the feet the strength necessary for long-term 'pointe' work, as well as teaching the lyricism necessary to true Russian ballet. The students will learn to dance with their whole bodies thus acquiring harmony of movement.

Included in the student's dance education are the correct terminology of ballet, an understanding of anatomy and injury, and movement vocabulary. The pupils are given short lessons in proper techniques for all the supporting knowledge such as stage terminology and injury prevention.

The young dancers will be allowed to perform, upon invitation, with millermuller ballet giving them the atual working experience of a full performance under many circumstances and in a variety of venues thus widening their expressive range and encouraging the development of self-discipline through dance.
