Discover the joy of dance with Creative Ballet! This class offers a playful introduction to ballet, where students explore the BrainDance, learn basic ballet positions and barre exercises (like pliés and tendus), and practice center floor balancing, leaps, and skips. We’ll cover ballet terminology, create step combinations, and even try some partner dances, all in a supportive and encouraging atmosphere. The session culminates in a short choreographed performance for family and friends on the final day.
