Pilates Workshop w/ Perry Bevington

Join us NEXT WEEK on Saturday, January 31, for two Pilates workshops with Perry Bevington, designed to support both our dancers and the adults who support them. Dancers ages 13+ will focus on core strength, alignment, and injury prevention, and parents/guardians are invited to enjoy a welcoming class centered on strength, posture, and mindful movement. This is a great opportunity for the whole ECB community to move, feel stronger, and take care of their bodies together!

Elevate Tickets

Do you have your tickets for this year’s Elevate? Come see what our student choreographers have been creating in the studio, along with the premiere of a brand-new work by former ECB instructor Jennifer Porter. It’s an especially exciting opportunity for our younger students to attend and catch a glimpse of what they might one day create themselves.
