Class Experience

In this class, students will learn entry level ballet fundamentals, moves, and terminology while engaging in the discipline of classical ballet. Class is grounded in encouragement and LOTS OF FUN! 

WHAT TO EXPECT:
Students will begin class with a warmup at barre (or a chair/wall), followed by a short round of light stretching, and an introduction to ballet positions/moves in center floor. Finally, learners will engage in a patiently demonstrated sample routine till they are gracefully doing the dance effortlessly. 

HOW TO PREPARE:
Students are asked to dress casually, find an open space, and be prepared for an unforgettable class! 

This class is great for children who:
-are interested in ballet
-could use ballet as a foundation for stage performance or other dance
-love ballet and dancing and are eager to learn, practice, and dance
-need the boost of confidence that dance and ballet provide
-could use improvement in posture, coordination, core strength, and flexibility
-need a homeschool physical education class
-need an afterschool activity 

Our ballet class will be open to all children: boys and girls. Please send me a message if your child requires any special accommodations.
