Description
Inna Bayer, Founder and Head Ballet Mistress of Bayer Ballet Academy, would like to invite all aspiring ballerinas between the ages of 8 and 18 to join us for Master Classes with Stephanie Saland.For those of you who have already taken classes with Stephanie, no explanation is needed. If you have not had the pleasure of attending a class with Ms. Saland the below quoted journal entry from a student which attended one of her master classes will serve as is a good representation of what she brings to the classroom.
"So I just left THE most interesting class I have ever had in my life! Stephanie Saland who is a former NYCB dancer came to the pillow to teach a two hour master class! She began the class with a "disclaimer" that we weren't getting a normal traditional ballet class. She began to explain that her influence for class comes from many different forms of dance, and yoga. Throughout the class you could feel the relaxation and creativity moving in her head. She taught a class that was in agreement with idea that one doesn't always have to be perfect! The class allowed me to release, and let go of tension that I developed from trying so hard to be good enough. Her class was extreme and over the top and I adored every second of it! If I were able to move that way more often, ballet would become more and more of an addiction for me! Being here at the pillow; where gorgeous is an understatement, allowed the class to become even more of a release. It made me long to become one with nature and dance like I was in a field where the open space was unlimited and I could fly."
"...As a dancer, Stephanie Saland inhabited each role bringing to it a glowing life with every step, every gesture. To watch her was to understand what artistry is. As a teacher she is as unparalleled as she was in her dancing. Dance becomes understandable when touched by Stephanie. It also becomes magic." -Elizabeth Kaye, Contributing Arts Editor, LA & NY Times
