About Tess

Background

Tess has been an integral part of Ballet For All Kids her entire life. She has been taking classes and mentoring other students since the age of five. Tess has extensive experience working with children of all abilities and loves teaching. Because of her belief that every child should have the same opportunities to learn classical ballet, Tess has developed teaching strategies to help children with both behavioral and physical challenges.

Bedtime Ballet

Tess recently developed Bedtime Ballet – a class that helps children transition from the weekend to the school week through movement and mindfulness. This class was designed to promote relaxation and emotional awareness. Tess continues to develop her ballet skills by taking pre-professional ballet classes. Tess has been a soloist in many ballets including The Nutcracker, The Littlest Star, and The Trunk. Ballet For All Kids has given Tess the opportunity to combine her love of ballet and children and she hopes to continue teaching children of all abilities as she transitions to college.
