Each class, for amateurs, pre-professionals, and professionals alike, takes place in an atmosphere of serious purpose, concentration on physical improvement, personal care and attention, and a sense of joy and musicality. We offer private instruction in addition to classes. Custom-designed training, in particular audition preparation for pre-professional schools, are special features of the curriculum. We offer small classes and lots of personal attention.
Originally from Belgium, Anna began dancing at age seven at the Conservatoire de la Danse directed by Maurice Béjart, and studied with Jacques Saussin and Dolores Laga. Anna has performed as a principal dancer for Theatre Royal de la Monnaie in Brussels, and at Royal Theaters in Aachen, Lubeck and Hamburg. In New York, Anna trained with Nenette Charisse and Lee Theodore of the American Dance Machine. Anna has been a guest ballet teacher for pre-professionals at The Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance as well as teaching Master classes in basic ballet in other schools.

"Attending classes at CDAB makes me feel confident, healthy, energized, and beautiful. I have been a runner, taken Pilates classes, and worked out at the gym. What is unique about CDAB is the personal touch with professional dancer/instructors like Anna and Rio who not only push you to your fullest potential, but teach you how to move your muscles properly and how to move your body the right way. There is a strong focus on proper technique and correct posture.
Floor Barre and Ballet Barre emphasize sculpting, toning, and grace, while Cardio Dance emphasizes strengthening, coordination, and flexibility. Having started out with the Cardio Dance classes and added the Body Ballet classes, Anna and Rio taught me how the two classes compliment one another beautifully for the perfect balance of workout. Now I am committed to attending each class at least once a week, and my body and mind have never looked or felt better! The studio is conveniently located in walking distance from my apartment on the Upper East Side!" - Suzie, Dedicated Fab Dancer

Located in Manhattan, New York, The School for Strings has been New York’s premiere Suzuki-based music school since 1970, providing outstanding instrumental instruction in violin, cello, piano and fiddle to thousands of children and teenagers. In agreement with Dr. Shinichi Suzuki’s ideas, the School’s philosophy is that through the study of music, all children can achieve beyond their expectations. Dr. Suzuki's educational precepts are based on his conviction that every child can be educated and the corollary assumption that every child will be educated. Success is built into his approach, both in the manner of teaching and in the choice of repertoire contained in the volumes of the Suzuki Violin, Cello and Piano Schools.
Children learn the fundamentals of classical music: rhythm, melody, harmony, tempo, dynamics and articulation. By fostering close collaboration between parents, teachers, and students, we aim to build the love of music, self-confidence, discipline and outstanding achievement in every student. In Suzuki study therefore, children learn to play their instrument at first by ear, learning the music they are to play by extensive listening to recordings of each piece.
