Integrating the Fine Art of Ballet and Good Manners

When I attended my professional training at the Etiquette and Leadership Institute to become a certified Etiquette Consultant for children and adults, they were intrigued at my business model:   offering families a traditional Dance Academy specializing in ballet with a separate Manners School for children and adults to learn social skills, good manners and contemporary social and business etiquette.  Then, for “color” and even more FUN, we added on-site, sophisticated and Classic Birthday Parties for children with unique themes, costumes, and quality activities.  To complete this ambitious business model, the Boutique at Fleur de Lis was created so that our families (and anyone who has since learned of this “hidden secret”) could buy quality dance wear, gymnastics apparel, cheer attire and amazing gifts at a LOWER price than any other local dance store or on-line competitor.

My business mission was easy:  Positively Enhancing Lives!  All of my four businesses offer the highest quality programs at the most competitive rates- I firmly believe that the Academy families should enjoy a beautiful facility with professional and nurturing programs that is AFFORDABLE!

New for 2012, we are launching ENCHANTED – La Petite Dance & Manners Programs.

We invite you to experience ENCHANTED:  a completely integrated ballet & manners program featuring two classes, Storybook Ballet and Magical Manners for children ages 2.5 – 6.   This 1 ½ hour program is a wonderful complement to a child’s pre-school experience:  we encourage families to enjoy an ENCHANTED Morning or ENCHANTED Afternoon as an alternative day activity to their pre-school schedule.

ENCHANTED offers children a Storybook Ballet class, Tiara Tea Party Snack, and a Magical Manners lessons from a professional dancer and nationally certified manners program.

ENCHANTED offers parent an affordable pre-school alternative that combines the fine art of Ballet and social skills of a Manners program.

Little Miss Sunshine.
