About

Anne Easterling is a master ballet teacher and choreographer based in New York City. She has been a teacher of ballet since 1997, and is the developer of a unique approach to ballet instruction.

She is the founder of her own school, The Ballet Club. She has also been a past member of the faculty at Broadway Dance Center, Ballet Hispanico, Peridance Center, and The 92nd Street Y. Ms. Easterling received her Master of Fine Arts Degree in Dance from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts.

Ms. Easterling has extensive expertise working with students of all ages, from as young as 2 years to as old as 72 years. She developed the course, “All You Need to Know Before You Begin Ballet Class” specifically for the adult beginning ballet student. In four 40-45 minute lessons, plus one 70 minute lesson, the course covers everything from practical issues including what to wear to class and how to hold the barre, the essentials of basic ballet, the basic vocabulary you need to know, the structure and routine of class, and how to approach ballet class mentally.

The course ends with a 70 minute "Sample Beginner Ballet Class" where the student can experience the typical beginner ballet class first in the privacy of their home, before attending a group class in person.
