“Teaching is a very rewarding part of this dance form

for me. My goal in teaching is to share joy and instill the love of music in all students, while guiding and mentoring them to be the best dancer that they can be, for each of their own unique personalities and abilities. I thoroughly enjoy watching all of my students grow into the love of dance.”

-- Pamela Ball, School Founder

In addition to weekly classes, Pamela offers special

workshops and technique classes for dancers who wish to further explore the possibilities this unique dance form has to offer.

Beginner level classes are aimed at progressively building posture, movements, and isolations in a fun and non-competitive environment. Students will develop rhythm, grace and co-ordination while toning muscles and building strength.

Intermediate level classes build upon the skills and movements taught in Pamela’s Beginner classes. Dancers will gain confidence and poise while exploring the challenge of more complex movements, as well as the use of accessories, such as the veil and zills.

Pamela prides herself on the high quality instruction

and consistency of her classes. All instructors have been long-term students of her school, trained under Pamela’s guidance and are now members of the Amar Dance Troupe. Together, they care that all students receive the best they can offer in a fun, supportive and non-competitive environment.
