Ballet Imagination was created out of love by Leah Mitchell (1965-2019).
Calling upon her own 25+ years teaching ballet, Leah initiated a
children's class on Staten Island to further her children's dance studies.
The word spread. Ballet Imagination would soon be recognized by the community as exceptional dance instruction with high levels
of fun and integrity.
Leah's approach focused on student growth in skill, poise and maturity.
End-of-year presentations gave parents an opportunity to see their children's advancement in a typical class setting. This was a welcome alternative to extravagant performances that are cost-prohibitive for many parents and antithetical to a ballet learning environment.
This remains part of our ethos today.
Leah, an accomplished dancer, composer and performer, will be honored with
Snug Harbor's Artist Award at the 2020 Neptune Ball.
