Class Experience

Do you have an interest in learning ballet while practicing balance and coordination?  (This class is great for any learner who wants to learn fun basic ballet steps or learners who have some ballet experience and want to review and practice fundamental skills).

In this Self-paced class basic 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 basic dance steps and then follow the teacher as she leads a dance using steps from class.  Learners will be given pointers 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 II:  Floor Stretch, Grand Battement, Adagio

⭐️ Part III:  Tendu Temps lie, Follow along dance as we practice skills from class
