ABOUT HMD INTRO COURSES
HMD’s Intro Ballet curriculum was developed by HMD Founder Michelle Smith. Michelle has an extensive background in ballet training, including the New York City Ballet and San Francisco Ballet, and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Texas Christian University. After college, she joined the Delia Stewart Dance Company, working first as principal dancer and then as Manager of the company and Director of the school, where she established a children’s program and diversified the adults’ program that became the base for Houston Met Dance over 30 years ago.

Through this curriculum students learn classical ballet techniques and terminology while to building the physical stamina and strength necessary to accomplish matriculation into Beginning Level Ballet classes at Houston Met Dance.

Lessons build from class to class and instruction is facilitated by HMD Ballet faculty (including Michelle) who rotate through the 6 weeks providing students with the opportunity to experience the full breathe of what Houston Met Dance has to offer, as they expand their ballet knowledge and experience.

Each class includes barre exercises, center floor work, and across-the-floor combinations. The goal of our intro adult courses is the matriculation of students into our beginning-level classes on our Open Adult Schedule. Students typically take 2-4 consecutive 6-week sessions if they are brand new to dance and 1-2 consecutive 6-week sessions if they have previous dance experience.
