Balancing Artistry & Humility Step-by-step
At Bethany Ann Hellen Studios, we will always be committed to the well-being of the students first and foremost. No award, trophy, placement, title, attention
, “likes” or popularity is worth jeopardizing the protection of the dancers. Though we abide by this philosophy and put it into action in all our classes at the studio, we decided to take an active stance by getting certified in the Youth Protection Advocates in Dance. We are strongly convicted in putting the dancers’ physical, emotional and sexual safety first by always trying to use age-appropriate costumes and choreography, and avoidance in using music with inappropriate content & references to drug use, sexual connotations, violence, explicit language, etc. Dance should assist a child with their self-confidence & worth and we need to ask ourselves what our movements, music and costume choices are saying to the audience about the way we value ourselves and others.
