From the reviews
Robert is the best ballet teacher I’ve ever worked with. His musicality and energy inside the classroom is inspiring and keeps you constantly focused and engaged. His ability to deliver individualized attention to every student in his class is what makes him stand out as a teacher.
Boulder, CO-based Lemon Sponge Cake Contemporary Ballet is home to some of the absolute best ballet I have ever experienced first-hand, both as student and patron. Robert Sher-Machherndl’s choreography, movement repertoire, and overall teaching methodology are all second to none.
Lemon Sponge Cake Contemporary Ballet is one of the most prestigious companies in Colorado. Having had the privilege to work with Robert on the creation of a new piece, as well as train with him in a classroom setting, the process is equally as rewarding as the final product.
Lemon Sponge Cake is on the top tier of artistic expression with movement creation and concepts that are respected throughout the world. Robert has the ability to deal gently with massive concepts that come from a genuine place in his heart and mind and interact with them in such a way as to have something to give to…
Your first ballet class at Lemon Sponge Cake Contemporary Ballet
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
