CONGRATULATIONS TO FMSD STUDENT, EMMA FORGONE FOR WINNING FIRST PLACE AT THE IRISH DANCE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS! GO TEAM FMSD!
FMSD is pleased to announce that we are welcoming accomplished breakdancer, Calvin Walker, into the FMSD family. Read about him here!
Calvin has been breaking since 2002. He's taught all across the state of Vermont and performed with musical acts such as Redman, The Roots, and The Aztext. Calvin is a member of the Vermont Arts Council's teaching roster. FMSD is looking to add a hip hop instructor to our dance family! Please contact Fia at [email protected] if you would like to apply for the job. Availability on Thursdays from Fall 2017 onwards anytime from 3:00-8:30 is necessary.
Please give a warm welcome to the newest member of the FMSD Family: ballet and pilates instructor, Kaarin Shipitko! Kaarin will begin teaching ballet with her two camps in the Summer, and continue into the Fall with both ballet and pilates. You may read about her background here: Kaarin Shipitko received her early training at the School of the Richmond Ballet. In 2008, she moved to New York to attend New York University and continue training at Steps on Broadway and Peridance Capezio Center. While in New York she began freelancing with a variety of companies and projects. In 2012 she moved to Florida to dance with Florida Dance Theatre, where she enjoyed performing principal roles in new contemporary ballet productions. Her career then took her to Russia to join The Omsk State Musical Theatre Ballet Company. There she had the opportunity to dance in many Russian classics including Swan Lake, Bakhchisarai Fountain, and Ruslan and Ludmilla and to perform divertissements in operas and theater productions. In 2015 she was excited to return to New York to resume freelancing work with ballet companies and finish her degree at New York University. Kaarin has a B.A. from NYU’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study with a concentration in Ballet as a Reflection of Culture and the State. During her dance career Kaarin suffered a serious injury, which lead her to Pilates as a way to recover and return to dancing. Over time she fell in love with all Pilates had to offer and felt that she wanted to share the benefits she found in Pilates with others. She began training to teach Pilates at Pilates Academy International in New York City. Kaarin loves that Pilates can be adapted to different bodies and fitness levels making it an ideal fitness method no matter where you are in your life. She is passionate about teaching both Pilates and Ballet to adults and children and loves seeing all her students make connections between their mind and body. Kaarin is also a Kinetic Awareness Teaching Candidate under Master Kinetic Awareness Teacher, Dr. Robin Powell. Kinetic Awareness is a body awareness technique that Kaarin was drawn to because of its focus on anatomy, alignment, and releasing frozen tension. She is working towards her finishing her training in this method and enjoyed incorporating its principals of awareness, efficient movement, and breath into her Pilates and dance classes. Kaarin is new to Vermont and very excited to be in such a beautiful environment. She is passionated about an overall healthy lifestyle and can be found most often in the kitchen when not in the studio. FMSD is thrilled to announce that we now have all new dance flooring and ballet barres! Thanks to all who performed, donated, and helped out in achieving this goal. Our next goal is to save up for summer camp crafts, studio mirrors, and two more rolls of dance flooring.
