Introducing…
The Metamorphosis Ballet System
A set ballet curriculum of introductory work and five levels, designed to foster a dancer’s technical growth through repetition, muscle memory & dance intelligence!
Here’s how it works:
Logical progression of movement provides the repetition necessary for proper muscle memory while encouraging artistry and freedom of expression.
Center barre work and innovative wall work allows quick transition of technique to the students’ contemporary, modern, jazz, lyrical and musical theater classes.
The system includes parent communications to help them understand the need for patience as dancers improve, AND allows the teacher adaptability and revenue possibilities.
“For a dancer to excel, they must learn to accept public critiques and make the necessary corrections. This can be very difficult for adults. My daughters not only accept feedback, but they also solicit feedback. They are always improving and striving for excellence. In my daughters’ medical fields, they get hundreds of reviews and take all feedback as an opportunity to improve patient interactions, processes, and outcomes both on a personal and systematic level. Dance ingrained that feedback is a gift to those with an open mind and a drive for personal best.
It truly takes a village to raise a child. You cannot do it alone. Terri was a part of my village. Today, my daughters share my love for the artistry of dance, have amazing presence in a room and hold lifelong friendships from dance. The influence of their dance training developed and supported behaviors that were key to their successful careers today.”
Testimonial
Instead of just telling the dancers what to do, this system teaches dancers “how” to create the movement successfully and joyfully!
From Caterpillars to Butterflies, this is a system of ballet class work for a new generation of dancers that study multiple dance forms.

What’s Included:
“I am most excited about Terri Newman’s new ballet system. After taking her turns systems “Turn Your Dancing Around,” I saw an immediate improvement from my dancers. Implementing this turn program changed how my children turned because of how detailed the exercises are to help them with proper placement and understanding how the the turn works on their bodies.
After looking into this new ballet system I’m positive I’ll see yet another huge change in my dancers. What a blessing she has been to MY dance world!”

Why Metamorphosis?
Metamorphosis is a unique system that teaches a dancer how to become the master of their muscles.
Just as a caterpillar turns into a beautiful butterfly, this program creates dancers that find the freedom to fly in a curriculum taking them from beginner to advanced.
“I have been so impressed by the Metamorphosis syllabus and how easy it is to step in as a substitute teacher. The instructions are clear and ordered in a way that makes sense and that the students have a great understanding of. The exercises are expertly tailored to train muscle memory and vocabulary at each level through repetition and applied knowledge. It’s so clear to see the natural progression of each dancer as they ready themselves for the next level, and it helps the dancer see the “why” behind the movement in each exercise while still being challenging. I can definitely see massive strides from watching students at the beginning of the level to after working the program regularly…smarter, more confident and consistent dancers!”
Each level is designed to take 1-2 seasons of study. When students are ready, studio owners may hire their own adjudicator to watch the dancers execute class . The adjudicator will then award each qualified dancer a certificate indicating that they passed, along with any honors received.
If you choose to utilize this optional testing feature, you hire your OWN adjudicator, you set scoring standards, and you keep ALL profits!
No fees to another organization!
As an added benefit, you will also receive personalized guidance through your first season of testing.
“When I was first asked to preview the Metamorphosis System I was very skeptical. Ballet is such a beautiful, structured, and disciplined art, one that I taught for over 40 years, did we need this? The answer is an overwhelming YES. It is a logical progression of exercises to increase and improve technique incorporating strength building. The dancers are dancing, not robots with no feeling. It is an impressive body of work that is practical and teachable.”
Classes
Metamorphosis Class Levels
You know that your dancers and their parents love a good concept. Each Metamorphosis level builds upon the previous level, taking a dancer from a beginner to a well-trained Advanced/intermediate dancer that is ready to begin professional level work. Each level takes 1-2 dance seasons depending on a dancer’s individual progress. Teachers decide which level to begin an experienced dancer in. This system allows the teacher and studio adaptability! This system gives you 6-12 years of planned curriculum that logically builds your dancers’ technique.
Also included is Basic Ballet Introductory Work for once a week ballet dancers in lower elementary school, to prepare them for the Caterpillar through Butterfly 5 levels. Typically dancers that begin level one are in at least 3rd grade and are ready to begin taking two weekly ballet classes. Of course, you can alter these requirements to suit your own dance school.
“Metamorphosis has worked wonders with our students. We have had increased class efficiency, as students have been able to focus on improving their technique due to already knowing their class material. I have also had success with younger students participating in pre-Metamorphosis work. The clear and focused goals for each combination allow for a productive class and engaged students. I will continue to implement Metamorphosis teachings for all of my future years of dance education, and I know that this program will continue to improve the quality of dance technique of all students who learn it.”
Throughout this curriculum, we focus on these key areas…
Maximizing class time so that students receive the repetition necessary for proper muscle memory.
Getting the most out of each dancer’s facility so they can find success in all of their dance subjects.
Developing a love for the art of ballet and/or an appreciation for how ballet trains technique they can trust.
Freely exploring the quality of movement needed for successful ballet auditions.
Building the confidence and patience necessary for personal success!
Past and current Metamorphosis students have…
Reduced resistance to taking ballet class.
Increased awareness of how ballet helps them in other dance subjects.
Learned the patience necessary to improve.
Become stronger technicians.
Found a trust in their technique so they were free to concentrate on stylization and performance.
Made learning and growing something to be proud of.
Felt empowered to find the best within themselves.
“I started structured ballet programs with Terri Newman at the age of 10, and I can confidently state it’s remained my foundation 20 years later as I’m in the thick of my career as a professional dancer, stunt performer and motion capture artist. Terri has a way of ensuring her students understand the benefits of repetition versus “being bored by the same exercises” each week. She uses her structured program to create dancers that can self-motivate, self-assess, and be in charge of their own bodies. (I’ve subbed her ballet classes, and it’s remarkable to see how focused, driven, and independent-thinking her students are!) She is not interested in creating robots- she’s interested in giving aspiring artists an excellent foundation to create from whether it’s in ballet, jazz, contemporary or whatever form of movement they choose to study.”

A note from Miss Terri…
Hi! I’m Terri Newman, a dance master for 43 years. I am a past president of Dance Masters of MI, certified by exam through both Dance Masters of America and the Cecchetti Council, and have judged and taught at regional and nationals throughout the U.S. and Canada. My home dance school has a small student population and yet they have been very successful in the competition world at both regional and national levels with hundreds of group and solo titles and high score awards, choreography awards, and top studio awards. However, I am proudest of being recognized consistently for obtaining a high level of technique from my dancers with just 2 weekly ballet classes. I believe I have the ability to empower each student to find the best within themselves regardless of their natural talents or dance facility. My students gain a deep appreciation for their technical training and for the work ethic and focus that they obtain through their classes. This technique has enabled my dancers to choose a career in dance and many have gone onto successful dance careers including professional companies such as Alvin Ailey, and Kegwin in New York City as well as several regional professional companies. My students have become Rockettes, been on Broadway, danced on cruise lines and in theme parks, and been in industrial and arena productions. I have also had numerous students continue their training in top college dance programs, or become a part of successful college dance teams, many becoming captain. Throughout the country, you will find teachers and studio owners that I have trained, and I know this system can help studios and ballet teachers everywhere!
The greatest skills that Miss Terri’s Metamorphosis Ballet students have gained is the work ethic, focus abilities, confidence and self worth to go into the adult world and become whatever they want to be. They have gained the courage and patience to begin as a caterpillar and become a unique butterfly. They are ready to fly!
This program is a perfect fit for you if…
You want ballet curriculum for your multi-disciplined ballet dancers that enables them to improve.
You are a studio owner that wants consistency amongst all your ballet teachers and substitutes.
You want to earn some extra income.
“It has been so rewarding to watch our students as they study and progress through the Metamorphosis System. The improvement is evident across the board. Because of the repetition, and carefully thought out exercises, our dancers are able to gain the same technical excellence our studio has always prided ourselves on, while still allowing time for study in each of the other subjects they are versatile in. At the competition level, regardless of the subject they are performing, they are consistently receiving accolades for their technical achievements. The students are enjoying this practice, and the fulfillment they are finding in passing each level, while working and progressing at their own individual pace.”
