QUESTIONS YOU SHOULD ASK Can you tell me about your facilities? Armetta's Grand Jete Studio of Dance is located in the beautiful Lehigh Valley, PA. The studio is conveniently located on Rt.100, Macungie. Armetta's Grand Jete Studio of Dance is equipped with two large dance studios with closed circuit Television. Studio one and two are equipped with professional dance floors which prevent injury and reduce fatigue. The flooring is a very important aspect, as constant jumping and landing can cause serious injury if performed on a hard wood, concrete, or tile surface. Very few studios use the 1/4" thick and layered "woodstep plus" floor because of the expense involved, and usually opt for a regular floor of tile or wood in their studio. How much personal attention will my child receive? In order to ensure enough personal attention to each dancer it is important to limit the number of students in each class. There is no "Magic" number that works for all ages and abilities. Careful consideration is given to the age of the student, the type of class, and the level of difficulty of the class. With younger students, it is easier for a teacher to maintain control over the class and ensure that each student understands the material if the class size is smaller. By keeping the class sizes smaller, we make sure that no fundamental concepts are being missed, as well as making sure each student is developing good habits and proper technique. How does your program surpass the standard expectations of the "stereotypical" dance studio? Each studio is equipped with closed circuit televisions so parents can watch each lesson. Our faculty members have degrees in dance or have comparable professional experience. They continue their education through intensive dance training. This is what keeps us on the cutting edge of dance today. Our annual spectacular is held at the Scottish Rites Cathedral. Our audiences enjoy our spectacular sold out performances in comfort and style each year. Whether you are seeking a once a week class or an intensive program to set your child on the path to a professional career, Armetta's Grand Jete is right for you! |
