But to get to the stage, you have to practice. And for generations of ballet students, that practice has meant the Collenette School of Ballet.<\/p>\n

It’s tucked away in an old brick building in the heart of San Marino.<\/p>\n

Emily Bratmon Hand has owned and taught at Collenette for the past 20 years, which is just a fraction of the dance school’s life, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary.<\/p>\n

Its studio walls testify to its rich history, with photos dating all the way back to its birth in the 1920s and its inspiration.<\/p>\n

“I wish my mother and grandmother were alive today,” said Claudia Collenette Damon. “They would be amazed!”<\/p>\n

Beatrice Collenette was the original owner, and studied under Anna Pavlova, one of the most famous ballerinas of all time.<\/p>\n

We caught up with Damon at the school’s 100th anniversary celebration at Arcadia High ,where past students pored over photobooks from decades ago. That link to the past is now a bridge to the future.<\/p>\n
