This class is an intro to ballet for ages 6-10. There is no prior dance experience needed, we will start at the beginning. All your student needs a comfortable clothes they can move in and something like a ballet barre to hold onto (chair, counter top etc) This class will begin with some work at the ballet barre, a little dancing without the barre (within reason since we are all in our own homes) and then end with some cool down stretching. There will be space for students to ask questions throughout the class, and most of the class they will be moving and dancing! Rather than having a "set in stone" weekly curriculum to post here, this class will be tailored to meet the needs of the learners in the class, based on any past dance or movement experience they may or may not have. Each session of this course has been unique to the learners enrolled but you can be sure your student will have an understanding of the fundamentals of Ballet by the end of the course!
Learning Goals
Students will gain a basic understanding of ballet technique: turnout, the 5 positions, exercises at the barre, coordination and fluidity in their movements. As well as a basic understanding of counting music and tempos.

Supply List
Something to hold on to as a "ballet barre"- either a chair or a counter top works just fine!
