She moved back to Ashland in 2000 and has been teaching (mainly at Oak Street Dance Studio) ever since.

Her ballet class focuses on classical technique, with emphasis on alignment, weight transferring, and musicality. She specializes in breaking things down to basics, so even advanced dancers can better assess habits and tendencies. Multi level classes.

He first moved to Southern Oregon in 2009, where he studied ballet with Sylvia Bolton and Erica Bury. He then spent four years in New York City, training at Steps on Broadway under instructors Elena Kunikova, Heather Hawk, and Nancy Bielski. Now back in Ashland, he has performed in numerous ballets throughout the Rogue Valley and remains dedicated to both performing and teaching.

Brandon's Intermediate Ballet class is designed for teens and adults with a solid foundation in ballet, requiring a minimum of two years of prior training. This class builds upon fundamental technique, focusing on strength, precision, alignment, and artistry. Through a combination of barre exercises and center work, dancers will practice complex movement patterns to challenge both the body and mind. Brandon strives to create a class environment that is both supportive and engaging!
