DailyClass Structure 1.) Discussion: Each class will begin with a discussion to help direct our focus on to one ballet element for the day. Discussion topics include, ballet arm positions, ballet feet positions, posture, etc. 2.) Students will stand and embody this ballet principle. Students will then get a chance to try out the principle we discussed. Certain students may be asked to demonstrate proper execution of movements. I may also ask one student to demonstrate, and class the class to provide constructive feedback. 3.)

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Dance from Hunter College of City University of New York
I'm a trained dance educator with a masters degree from NYU. I'm offering this class because I love ballet, and I love to see students grow in this art. I am also still a student of this technique so I know what it is to approach this on a pedagogical level, while not being too far removed from the experience of a student of the technique.Reviews
