Adult Program: Introduction to Ballet

Introduction to Ballet is a class designed for those who have no ballet experience and is also ideal for those who are returning to ballet after a long absence. A traditional classical ballet class format is followed, beginning with barre work and progressing to center work. Every step is presented in its most basic form and then built upon each week.

Level 2 students will also focus on the strength and placement necessary for the preparation of pointe work upon graduation from this level.

Level 1
