Class Experience

Have you done some basic ballet but want to try some new steps?  This class is great for any learner who wants to go beyond just the basics and try some new ballet technique.  

A great class to get some ballet experience before this one is Beginner Ballet:  https://outschool.com/classes/beginner-ballet-technique-oUGrP8iB

In this Self-paced class ballet steps will be introduced while focusing on good posture and fluid movements.  We will use a variety of instrumental/classical ballet music. Learners will be guided through dance steps and new vocabulary.  Pointers will be given on how to stay on the beat and have good musicality.  We will also practice pronouncing the ballet vocabulary and learn the meaning of many ballet steps.  

⭐️ Part I:  Introduction, Plie/Grand Plie in 1st and 2nd, Tendu Encroix from 5th position, Jete, Rond de jambe En dehors/En dedans, Grand Battement from 5th position.

⭐️ Part II:  Floor Stretch, Adagio, Saute/Changement, Emboite in Attitude, Grand Allegro
