Deborah Wingert
Teacher • Répéteur • Mother
Guiding students to learn about their bodies and minds through ballet to create a dialogue to move forward and affect change and development.
My Approach
Collaborative
The power of collaboration creates exceptional dancers. Technique, musicality, and artistry are developed through guidance and support. Ballet is a part of a rich and fulfilling life.
Interactive
Excellence in ballet comes from repetition. Building, refining, and improving dancing reflects individuality. Choices, combined with technical corrections and adjustments, create an authentic and confident dancer.
“Deborah brings the finest training from SAB and the NYCB to her students. She does this with a positive attitude and a complete understanding of how the technique works along with exercises to get the students to develop the strength and freedom to become the best ballet dancers they can be.”
-- Daryl Gray (Teacher, Choreographer)
