Curtis Studio of Dance will change the way people think about dance in Carpinteria this year! The Dance Studio is expanding its dance space and has incorporated a second new larger facility next door to the current studio located at 4915 9th Street.  Established in 1973, Curtis Studio of Dance has been the cornerstone Dance Studio in Carpinteria, and now includes two studios, a large waiting/dressing area and the new 9th Street Dance Shoppe located at 4921 9th Street. Bonnie Curtis, owner of Curtis Studio of Dance states "The new Annex Studio has allowed us to offer so many more diverse classes for both children and adults. I am very excited about the direction the studio has taken in the last year and look forward to being involved in many more opportunities for dancers in our area."

In addition to the school’s regular student program, the new expanded schedule now includes classes for adults including ballet, tap, ballroom, hip hop, Bounce!, and Pilates.

The Ballet Barre Workout is a blend of ballet, fitness and Pilates inspired movements done at a calorie burning pace. This dynamic workout not only burns fat and calories but will also tone and elongate your muscles, lift your booty, slim your thighs and sculpt your upper body.

 

Develop the length of a dancer and the strength of an athlete with our highly effective 60-minute workouts. Each class follows a thoughtful sequence for fast body shaping results and long term postural benefits.

 

As dancers know, the ballet barre is a wonderful prop designed to support the body in both static and dynamic movement leading to long, lean muscles. barre3 evolves the dancer's workout by combining the grace of the ballet barre with the wisdom of yoga and the strength of Pilates. Classes are set to an upbeat soundtrack and follow a vigorous pace moving through a sequence of postures designed to shape and lift the entire body.

 

Benefits:

  • Fast body shaping results and long term postural benefits.
  • Builds longer, leaner muscles and a strong core.
  • Energizes and increases stamina.
  • Develops muscle balance leading to a well-proportioned body with less risk for injury.
  • Increases flexibility and creates a natural flow to the body.
  • Precise instruction for each client improves results (without the cost of a personal trainer).
  • Motivating group environment builds connections and community, both important in making exercise a regular part of life.
  • Efficient 60-minute total body workout makes it easy to fit into a busy schedule.
  • Connects mind, body and breath and relieves stress.

 



Congratulations to the Curtis Studio of Dance Competition Corps at the Tremaine Dance Convention!

Curtis Studio of Dance Competition Corps came in 1st Place in the Teen Division for Line Tap in April 2011! The Curtis Studio of Dance Competition Corps qualified to compete in the National Finals in July!

Twelve of our students participated in the Tremaine Dance Convention and Competition this past weekend.  Ten of the dancers competed in the Teen Tap Division and were awarded a 1st place!  During the scholarship audition Sierra Nordholm, Ineka Damen,  Alexia Oliveras and Jete Dongieux were chosen for their ballet work.  We are very proud of our dancers for their accomplishments—we all had a very fun and exciting weekend.
