Chelsea Piers Connecticut and the Ballet School of Stamford are pleased to announce that they have created a partnership moving the Ballet School to a new home within Chelsea Piers Connecticut. The result is the most comprehensive dance program in Fairfield County. Beginning with the fall semester in September, The Ballet School of Stamford at Chelsea Piers will offer leveled classes in ballet, modern and jazz to the already robust youth dance program at Chelsea Piers Connecticut. The dance program will now have more than 40 classes per week with a focus on ballet, while offering excellent modern, jazz, hip-hop, musical theater and ballroom classes for children aged three and older, as well as ballet classes for adults. Dancers and athletes alike will benefit from access to the quality cross training that this partnership promotes. Competitive gymnasts and figure skaters may also receive training through the Ballet School.

The overall philosophy of Chelsea Piers Soccer Club is centered on the belief that following an athlete’s journey and understanding how to motivate a developing athlete is critical to his or her long-term success, both on and off the field. In accordance with this, coaches meet weekly in order to identify the additional needs of both players and teams.

“A developing athlete benefits greatly from having consistency in his or her coaching staff,” commented Dave Flower, Director of Coaching for Chelsea Piers Soccer Club. “We pride ourselves on hiring coaches that excel teaching the game on and off the field, bring playing experience and are also dedicated to building a career with us.  We offer coaches an extensive array of support, including off-surface cross training, injury prevention and sports medicine resources.  Our high-level coaches offer youth players many of the resources that traditionally are only available to a collegiate or professional player.”

Chelsea Piers Connecticut launched the Soccer Club one year after opening. Since then, the program has grown from three teams to 12 teams, ranging from U8 to U15 for both boys and girls.
