Ballet Conditioning (Intermediate Dancers) W/Monthly Skill Focus- Join Anytime

This class is a targeted blend of strength-training exercises, flexibility-training exercises, and ballet-specific conditioning drills. Students will focus on ONE target area each week for a month. Emphasis will be placed on foot and ankle strength, core stability, calf strength, and control and proper alignment of the legs and body. Students will also engage in exercises that enhance balance, turnout, and overall body awareness. 

This class is intended to be supplemental to your regular weekly ballet training.

>>This class is best viewed on a large screen. It is recommended that dancers use a device that can be connected to a tv or large monitor.

>> Music will not be shared during this class. Students may play their own classical ballet music if they wish, as long as they remain muted during class and pause their music if they need to ask a question or unmute for any reason.

>>Ballet Conditioning is offered at several times each week. You may enroll in more than one class, if faster results are desired. Consider private lessons for a specialized conditioning plan.

Students will work continuously throughout the class with short breaks between drills.

This class uses pre-recorded exercise examples (by me) with written instructions (to accommodate different learning styles). I will talk through and explain each exercise drill, then give students a set amount of time to finish each drill. We will cover some of the same drills each week. New drills will be introduced throughout the section as students are ready. I will closely observe each student during drills and offer immediate verbal corrections on placement and expectations, if needed. Having the pre-recorded examples helps me spend quality time on observing and offering feedback, rather than demonstrating - and students can actively see what they need to do during each drill (great for students who have difficulty remembering combinations).

>> Paused students risk potentially losing their spot in this class if more students enroll during your paused weeks and the class becomes full.
