It is with great pleasure that I announce the new director and principal teacher of HGBA! (Photos attached). I sent her resume earlier, which expresses her depth and breadth of talent and accomplishments. I can not be happier to have such a quality person to take the school forward, under a new name (details coming soon).

Claire Jones started at Hope Garden when she was 6, and graduated at age 18, having spent 2 years, as well, at Maryland Youth Ballet. She is trained by me (and others), so I am proud and happy that the great traditions can continue, infused with new ideas and energy.

We start classes on January 10th, and I have happily agreed to help her behind the scenes, and you will see me in front of the scenes sometimes, too!!

Let's welcome Claire with arms wide open!!

Please wear your favorite costume and meet at 9:30 on Cattail Rd where we line up (you have to look for us). Some of the older girls are dancing in front of the group.

I suggest party shoes or sneakers. Do NOT wear flip flops. Kids can hand out candy canes on a small flyer for our show, which now will be on Dec. 18th, according to PHS. This is always subject to change unfortunately.

We have a HGBA booth , right outside our parking lot, come visit!

On September 4th, from 5 - 8pm, I will host an open house at HGBA, with refreshments. All are welcome, and bring a friend who might like to be introduced to ballet, or to the school. Any age is welcome.

A few of the students will perform some representative dances, to show our skills, personality and fun. Come for an hour or all three! The kids will perform every hour...5:30, 6:30, 7:30

We will practice our protocols and wear masks, but we can meet old friends and make some new ones!

I hope to see you then!

20 years of Excellence...

Hope Garden Ballet Academy began 20 years ago with 3 students and a dream. A dream of a thriving ballet school, and an exciting performance troupe--both have come to fruition. This year, 2018, we celebrate 20 years of classical ballet study and 10 years of amazing performances, including “Aladdin”, “The Jungle Book”, “The Little Mermaid”, “ Noah’s Ark”, and many others. We will celebrate this milestone of 20 years on Oct. 6th, 2018, at Aix-La-Chapelle Farm in Poolesville , MD. See website for details. We teach with care, attention to detail, and with passion for ballet in our daily classes , at Hope Garden.
