~ ABOUT ~
International Dance, LLC. was founded as the School of International Dance by Christina Heimlich
in 1962. The school is directed by Elizabeth Hawkins. Assistant director Rebecca Collier and our
instructors are Miss Elizabeth, Miss Becca, Miss Sarah, Miss Victoria, Miss Natalie, and Miss
Misha.
Within the school we have a group of advanced dancers called "The Christina Heimlich Dancers."
They perform and carry on the traditions that uphold the standards of our founder.
We want to take this opportunity to let you know a little more about our program. As a student,
your child will learn about pre-ballet or ballet, creative movement as well as international
folk and character dance. Some classes also study tap and jazz. Participation in our classes
will encourage development of motor coordination skills, balance, partnering, flexibility,
strength, concentration, independence, creativity through use of imagination, poise, posture,
rhythm, discipline - all while having fun and learning about music and dance.
