Dance Education for Homeschoolers
Selah Academy is a dance school for homeschoolers directed by former homeschool and New World School of the Arts graduate, Brittany Kernohan. Selah Academy hopes to build each student’s dance technique as well as character. We believe as strongly in the power of a great dance education as we do about creating beautiful, loving and strong students. Selah teaches students the fundamentals of dance, body alignment and terminology, with focus on ballet and modern dance education. Classes harbor a fun and encouraging atmosphere to help build confidence, learn teamwork, grace and develop dance technique. We offer ballet, modern, jazz, tap and pointe classes all during the day, specifically gearing these classes to homeschooled students.
Selah Academy is proud to include the AMERICAN BALLET THEATRE® National Training Curriculum, a breakthrough 9-level program that combines high quality artistic training with the basics of dancer health and child development. The ABT® National Training Curriculum consists of a comprehensive set of age-appropriate, outcome-based guidelines to provide the highest quality ballet training to dance students of all ages and skill levels.
Mission
To change lives through dance and to provide high quality dance education to each and every student.
Values
Selah believes in treating others how we wish to be treated, both in and out of the studios. We are committed to excellence and strive to conduct ourselves in a professional and honest demeanor. Selah aims to conduct each class with grace, love and discipline, which creates a safe and conducive environment for learning. We believe in fostering each students’ creativity, technical training and personal character development.
At Selah, each and every student is upheld to a high standard of conduct. Students, at any level or ability, are required to give their personal best. Diligence and determination are intrinsic components to a child’s dance journey and are needed to make the process successful. The Selah family, wether teacher, parent or student, is encouraged to help develop an environment where respect, dignity and love are consistently lived out and shown to all.
