Ballet

Classical Ballet teaches grace, coordination and discipline. From Beginner Ballet to Advance Ballet the fundamentals of ballet are stressed to allow for a safe advancement. Students learn ballet terminology, meaning, and precise body form and movement associated with each term. Emphasis is placed on strengthening the legs and body core (the center, or abdominals) as a strong core is required for many ballet movements (especially turns), and on developing flexibility and strengthening legs and feet. Our beginner Ballet class in begins with basic barre and floor stretch, students then move on to basic positions, arm and feet coordination and turn out. Students progressively begin to incorporate what’s learned at the barre and apply it across the floor. Ballet technique is recommended for all dancers as it provides the foundation for other dance forms.
