Cuizon Ballet Centre, established in 2001, is a premier pre-professional ballet studio dedicated to providing the finest Balanchine technique-based ballet training. Our studio offers a unique and transformative approach, fostering not only a solid ballet vocabulary and technique but also a collaborative environment where intermediate and advanced students learn the value of working together in a focused and constructive manner.
At Cuizon, students benefit from the expert guidance of Lisa Cuizon, the studio’s primary teacher. Lisa’s personalized approach ensures that each student is seen, understood, and coached to reach their full potential. With her streamlined method of instruction, she addresses the class as a whole while providing individualized corrections tailored to each dancer’s specific needs. This allows students to develop as exceptional dancers while fostering self-awareness and personal growth.
Lisa emphasizes the importance of accountability in dance training. While she provides precise guidance on what’s necessary for improvement, the responsibility ultimately lies with the students to put in the work and embrace their own progress.
A Supportive and Collaborative Learning Environment
One of the studio’s defining features is its inclusive training model. By having all students train together in the same studio, younger dancers are inspired by their more advanced peers without feeling intimidated. This dynamic eliminates barriers between skill levels and fosters mutual respect.
Advanced dancers, in turn, serve as role models, mentoring younger students by demonstrating a strong work ethic, technique, and artistry. This creates a supportive atmosphere where students not only rise as individual dancers but also grow collectively as a community.
Foundational Ballet Class
In addition to the daily intermediate and advanced levels, Cuizon Ballet Centre offers a Foundational Ballet Class. Lisa chose the term “foundational” instead of “beginning ballet” because many students, even older ones, may arrive with gaps in their basic training. This class focuses on building a strong, organic foundation, essential for creating technically proficient and artistically expressive dancers.
By addressing and strengthening fundamental principles, students gain the tools to grow into resilient, versatile dancers. With a solid base, artistry can flourish, allowing each dancer’s unique expression to shine.
