just put one foot in front of the other…
It all started when…
Miss Stephanie stepped into her first dance class in 1983. She fell in love and continued dancing for the rest of her life! Now she is bringing that love and passion for dance, cheer, and performing arts to YOU!
Miss Stephanie started Standing Room Only Studios and Two Left Feet in 2009 by renting space in her local rec center, advertising a 2 hour dance workshop, and filming a Harlem Shake video. After that she began holding regular classes and building a fabulous reputation as a program that boosts self-esteem and provides quality dance and cheer education in a fun and safe environment. In 2016, she created her first competition teams that were received favorably at several regional competitions. Since then she has built strong performers and athletes that have gone on to do extraordinary things with their dance education and experiences such as becoming dance teachers and cheer coaches, staring in regional theater and local commercials, and continuing their educations at prestigious schools like Julliard, NYU, Marymount, & Rutgers Mason Gross.
SRO Studios and Two Left Feet teaches the Cecchetti Method of Ballet:
The Cecchetti method is a ballet technique devised by the Italian ballet master Enrico Cecchetti (1850-1928). Enrico was one of the most important influences on the foundations of modern Classical Ballet training. He evolved a method of training in the 19th Century working with professional dancers including Pavlova and Nijinsky, that is as relevant today as it was when first created.
The method seeks to develop the essential skills of dance (balance, poise, strength, elevation, flexibility, and artistry) in ballet students. Cecchetti students are taught to think about the movements of their appendages, such as legs and head, as one unit in relation to their full body.
With proper ballet training, students may easily transfer their technique and control to other genres of dance. The discipline that is required along with the standards set can be transferred to all aspects of the dancers' lives.
Our faculty have a full understanding of anatomy, musicality, proper technique, correct body alignment, and proper use of ballet terminology.
