This class will be a Ballet Intensive class focused for students serious about their Ballet training. It will be for Beginner - Intermediate students who have prior training and who are looking to improve their Ballet technique outside of the classroom. We will do a full barre every class to focus and practice technique. We will also do center combinations every class, and conditioning exercises to improve strength and flexibility. I will give feedback throughout the entire lessons, and provide tips and tricks that will help the student better understand their own body and what works for them. Students will be invited to share areas they would like to feel more confident; such as better at balancing, turns, jumps, etc. I the instructor, will also watch closely on areas that will help the student improve in all areas. I am a very positive teacher. I like to teach proper technique, but I will never put a student down. I have been around the dance world for a long time, and have seen both sides of the spectrum. I believe in instilling confidence in the student first, making them see how talented they are. When they start feeling confident, they are willing to work hard because they finally see they have the ability to achieve their goals. Students will interact with each other a lot throughout class. Building a rapport with one another to feel comfortable while dancing is very important. I will be interacting with all students throughout the lesson. I will also be giving individual attention to each student to help assist them and their own personal dance journey. If you have any questions about what this class would entail, or if this is the right fit, please message me! I'd love to open up the communication before class so that you are comfortable before you even begin.
Learning Goals
Students will advance their technique and build confidence. Students will learn what works on their own body to achieve success in their dancing.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Ballet is not only an art form but a strenuous physical activity. I am well trained and aware of all the muscles in the body and how each one moves and interacts with the other. At times injuries do happen, however during every class I give explicit instructions on how to best avoid injury so that it is very unlikely to happen.
Supply List
A chair or barre for the beginning of class. Water nearby and comfortable clothes to dance in.
