2011-2012 Class Schedule < < Mission:
To provide a positive nurturing environment filled with motivational incentives,
loving encouragement and the opportunity for each dancer to excel to his/her
full
potential in the dance disciplines offered. To accomplish this mission we
provide classes
that emphasize different dance training methods to empower the dancer to be
successful should the
decision be made to pursue a dance career. In addition, we offer a
pre-professional program for those
students who choose to dedicate themselves to more rigorous technical classes
where precision,
technique and dance performance is the focus.

Theatre, Inc. All Open School students are invited to audition
for the annual production of The Nutcracker presented at The
Roswell Cultural Arts Center. Hundreds of dancers have had the
thrill of being cast in this popular production that each year
delights North Atlanta audiences. Available parts vary from year
to year and casting for parts is very selective. Audition
information is printed in the September edition of our
newsletter “Dance Notes”. Dancers are selected on size and
ability and are required to pay a costume fee and attend
rehearsals in October and November.
Spring
Recitals – Produced by The Tolbert Yilmaz School of Dance

enrolled students. Presented each May at The Roswell Cultural
Arts Center, the recital gives actual stage experience to the
young dancer and displays for family and friends the progress
made during the year. The recital is optional, but highly
recommended and a separate costume recital fee is charged for
costume and production costs. The recital fee is paid in
December and is nonrefundable.
