DANCE

The M.E.L.C. School of the Arts offers private and group lessons in
ballet tap and
gymnastics.

Classes are taught in the strictest European tradition and English is rarely spoken to the children in class. Two feature length productions are held each year.
The Nutcracker is performed each December and the Spring production is usually held in April or May. Repertoire includes, Cinderella, Peter and the Wolf and most recently Carnival of the Animals.
It is also home to The Children's Ballet Company of Columbia a chartered, non-profit company whose purpose is to provide training & performance experiences for very young children. Company members are selected by annual audition.
