Anh’s Beginner ballet class is designed for those new to ballet or looking to refine their
foundational skills. The class focuses on the basics of technique, including proper placement,
alignment, and posture, to help you build a strong and safe foundation for your adult ballet
journey.

The exercises are kept simple and easy to follow, with an emphasis on learning essential ballet
vocabulary. However, expect to work hard – engaging your muscles, improving flexibility and
developing grace, control and coordination with every movement.

Anh Dillon embarked on her dance journey with a classical ballet foundation at the
Conservatoire Niedermeyer in Paris, France. Her pursuit of excellence led her to Brussels,
Belgium, where she trained under the tutelage of Nicole Karys, a former dancer with Maurice
Béjart’s Ballet du XXe Siècle, and Menia Martinez, of the Cuban National Ballet and the Ballet
du XXe Siècle. Expanding her horizons, Anh later delved into contemporary dance forms.
Professionally, Anh soared as a dancer in both contemporary ballet and contemporary jazz
companies, and her versatility enabled her to extensively work in the commercial scene (Usher,
Redken, Aveda, and PBS). Notably, she earned a Lester Horton Award for Best Performance
and seized the remarkable opportunity to choreograph for the iconic music artist Prince.
Anh’s teaching experience spans over two decades. She currently is a faculty member at the
American Ballet Theatre (ABT) Gillespie School in California, has been a regular teacher for the
Joffrey Ballet School summer intensives and audition tours since 2013, and travels worldwide
for master classes. Her experience and career also led her to co-create and co-direct the
online dance hub DancePlug.com.
Anh is certified in both Progression Ballet Technique (PBT) and the American Ballet Theatre
(ABT) National Training Curriculum through Level 7.
